So I’m being hit with disciplinarys for stupid things first one I forgot to put something down in the service sheet. my bad, a bit harsh. A quick word would have cleared up any issues but I’ll own that one
then I was hit with another. Apparently I missed a big chunk missing from a tyre, I know it wasn’t there as I took the wheel off put it on the balancer and checked the whole tyre. The evidence picture was tyre off the wheel and off the car so it could be some random tyre out of the scrap pile.
There’s also a written statement saying he didn’t tell me about another issue because He didt have time as the customer was waiting to collect the car and that he spotted it while he was checking my advisory items.
But he had time to get authorization for repairs and for me to carry out the repairs.
He also lowered a car whilst I was under. I was recording at the time and have him at the controls. Looking at the video there are no clear warnings, no waiting until the ramp was clear and using marks on the wall show the hight of the ramp before and after his finger pressing the button, this is all from under the ramp.
Grievance outcome was that there are two clear warnings and the manager followed correct protocol.
Maybe there was a warning, maybe I didt hear as the engine was running, maybe I was stuck and shouting for my life and no one can hear due to the running engine
the grievance I made during the disciplinary hearing I am now on final warning.
Anyway I can use the above to maneuver out of my next disciplinary?
As the grievance is flawed so could be the disciplinary, but it’s clear that more effort went into the disciplinary then my grievance.
what do you guys think, what are my options?
I been looking for a new job since the ramp incident but then lock down happened and most garages are seeing a drop in business so I need to keep this job until I find a new one
