Bad day today troops. After 20 years of loyal service i was sacked for a minor offence. Totally baffling.
I can`t begin to tell you how i feel. For some reason i don`t know, they obviously don`t want me. Staggering. Everyone else was baffled too.
That's terrible Shane. I'm so sorry. Why do they always do it in December? Saves on Christmas bonuses I suppose.
What was the minor offence and aren't they by law supposed to give you a written warning first? Or have you run out of warnings?
As for a possible reason . . . age? If you've been there 20 years then you cost more to employ than a nipper. Could just be the economic climate? And looking for any old excuse to shed some of the workforce?

Hope you can find something quickly

No warnings at all, not even verbal. As for the reason, god only knows. I even kept quiet and was respectful when i went for my hearing.
If i told you what happened you wouldn`t understand/believe how i got sacked.
That must be a really nasty shock to the system after working in the same place for 20 years.
Let it sink in over the weekend and when you wake up on Monday morning you'll realise that you're free at last. You can't see it now but something good will come of it. It always does.

Cheers momms/hkf. Things happen for a reason so they say
have a word with orioles on chit chat, shane (kenny)
20 years is a long time all employers must have a Contract of employment by law (though they only have to show you it on request) All contracts of employment should have a grievance procedure in it.
Usually if its not anything serious 1st being verbal 2nd being written 3rd dismissal if this procedure has not been followed correctly you have grounds for unfair dismissal.
If in union get in touch with officials, if not get in touch with citizen advice. 20 years service (robbing ba*****)
Whatever you decide ring them up Monday anyway and tell them you are going to an industrial tribunal for unfair dismissal.
Now go and get Pis*** and have a think about it after racing tomorrow.

Pete mac is very clued up on
industrial tribunal issues

That sounds a complete disgrace. I was sacked once without any prior verbal or written warnings for allegedly being unhelpful to a visitor. This was by the managing director. I said nothing at the time knowing they were wrong. I appealed and got my job back after six weeks, all fully paid. The director was re located far far away.
Don't let them get away with it, even if you may feel like you don't want to return there.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

petemac is right. If they are an employer of any size they will have a disciplinary procedure.
I presume you are not in a union?

blimey, hkf's beaten a short head. would have put him top of the table instead of bottom.
shane, orioles on chit chat, shirl;ey you know him, has a good legal brain.
You wouldn`t believe the first thing the union rep told me

On my way to pick him up now hope he was on it e/w.
Shane i think it may be the same one i have dealt with in past you may have disturbed his lunch.
Bye till Saturday

I think Unite still have their Regional Office in Leeds. If you don't get decent service in Sheffield get on to them. I was a shop steward quite a long time ago for Nalgo/Unison and Sheffield was always a backwater. I don't believe things have changed much.
Thanks salmon. Had brief dealings with Derek Simpson years ago.
by the way I'm kenny mann (cannyman) if you wondered who the intruder was.
Blimey! We've turned the page already and only one selection made so far. Is this a record?
Sorry to hear that Shane.
Hope it all works out for you.It's something I've been through in the past.

Sorry to hear about your desperate news, Shane. Hope the cloud has a silver lining.
Thanks for the kind words. A fourth goal in the Blackburn match would be nice.
Sorry to hear of your news Shane . Hope you can resolve things and you get a positive outcome .

very sorry to hear your news Shane, keep up the fight and good luck.

shane, really upset by your news ... thought you were joking yesterday
Some good advice on here ... sounds to me like you should fight this all the way, at least to get decent compensation. When I left they tried to cap my redundo, but I battered away at them until they saw the light. It's well worth putting up a fight mate.
