gross misconduct

peter0003

Dear All,

          Let me explain back in Feb 2011, I was fired for gross misconduct & for being honest about being asperger syndrome suffer which they didn't now about before hand. The charge of gross misconduct was brought against me was more of a sexual nature as the customer's photos were showing her skinny dipping. The lady in question had put her memory card in to our computer to get photo's and i was trying to help her when I saw her naked body  so on seeing these photo's I made a comment which may have upset her.  

          When I went to the hearing to see managment i took details about possibly having asgerpers which put nails in my coffin as when they read this information they discided to fire me on the grounds that i would not be suitable to work for them.  It was in March of that year that I was told that I had Asgerper syndrome. And  at present when ever the application form for a job asks me have you been fired due to missconduct  I'm not sure weather I should tell them or not?   The Job I had with OCS ended due to depression & anxiety/ panic attacks and not mentioning Asperger's.

yours Peter

  • Peter0003, that is a shame, maybe a solicitor should write a letter to your old employer and tell them about your mitigating circumstances which you informed them at the tribunal and see if they can give you your old job back or a letter of reference that overturns the gross misconduct.. It would be interesting to see what a solicitor says about this,, as your condition has caused this conditional circumstance not you, so it is unfair that you got fired.

    That seems to me, that you have been constructively dismissed and you were good enough to be employed at one stage.
