More work problems

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.

    Just finished with my disciplinary meeting with company chief executive, two managers and two people from HR.

    On my side was a mental health employment specialist.

    I'VE BEEN FIRED.   EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!!!!

    Hi Robert123, so sorry to hear you have had such a rough time recently - from what you have posted in the past, it comes across that you really care about your job and want to do the right thing.  From what you have said about your last employer, you are better off out of there and somewhere better.  I just feel sorry for the people they should be caring for.
