Disciplinary at work

Hello everyone,

I am currently on a suspension from work due to what I believe as been an austic outburst and poor communication. I have not been formally diagnosed but I have made a self referral and will be speaking to occupational health in the coming weeks 

I am really unsure what has happened, why I am on a misconduct charge and why I am struggling to regulate myself. The facts as I understand them:

 A member of my team who I was supposed to be working with was fired, despite me being informed in the morning that I would be working on a project with her

I entered the afternoon meeting frustrated and confused, visibly shaken/ing and was described after the fact as 'disrespectful and aggressive'

I then took the evening to decompress and it took me a full evening to feel emotionally stable

 Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated . I don't consider myself an angry person but I felt incredibly strong about how that person had been treated, as they had been invited into to do work then told they no longer work here. I have also throughout my life struggled with recognising emotional patterns and prefer direct contact that can often come across to others as blunt and rude when I am just trying to be honest 

Any support or advice would be appreciated. I am now incredibly concerned for my career over something I genuinely feel was outside of my control to manage and have not really had any one come to me and ask why I felt this way in a way that wasn't part of an investigation 

Thank you

  • Having been the recipient of a bullying allegation at work due to my autistic communication, that is being blunt and direct whilst a caught a staff member lying I can understand how you feel.

    You must understand that the allegations made against you have to be investigated. That could be your company's policy. So it maybe just process rather than specific to you.

    I agree with Lostmyway. Better to cover yourself with union and occupational health
