Continuing with my problems at work.
And the incidents that annoy me.
I work as a support worker with people having both physical & mental disabilities who exhibit challenging behaviour.
Last week I got a severe reprimand from a senior support worker for using my smartphone at work. I was checking the weather forecast on the BBC site. A couple of hours later the same support worker was spending hours on her smartphone playing solitaire, while her colleague was on social websites. I hate hypocrisy.
I still haven't been sacked. But I am facing a formal disciplinary hearing in two weeks time, where one option is dismissal.
New charges against me include, that at one meeting I was moving about on a rotating chair playing with it. I was actually stimming while under stress and trying to relax.
Wat?
They can't fire you for that.
I also hate hypocrisy... and bullying.
