I read this straight after the 'TMR Underworld' thread.

Took my head a few moments to get round 'snapped airlines'  redface:

Meanwhile, his new gaffer said diddly squat to him yesterday.
Just handed him his duty sheet and said, "there you go sunbeam". :thumbsup:

Could this actually be his punishment....keeping him on the edge like, wondering, worrying?  rubschin:
It's werking. ::)

Part seemingly yes.
Handed a standard but very snotty letter last night for a disiplinary hearing for round about now actually. scared2:
Advising him to have a union rep with him, and with the possibilty of instant dismisal.

They better hadn't, or I'LL be heading straight in there with all guns blazing! Angry9:

He was absolutely besides himself with worry last night.

They are bang out of order .... noooo:

They should have done a full investigation with him and explained what could happen.. Given him the outcome in writing...

If it was to go to disciplinary he should be given at least 24hrs notice and more time if he needs it and the opportunity to have representation from a union rep or colleague .

He should get hold of a copy of their Disciplinary Procedure cause if the worst comes to the worst the can appeal on the grounds that they did not follow procedure... 

He should also be given a copy of all notes and evidence to prepare with..

We get a new Unit or trailer in within two days they are covered in scratches dents etc.  With vehicles that big they get caught on trees etc. can't avoid them.  Mirrors get caught every day again cause of the size of the vehicle... In some cases I have to admit it is the drivers fault but mostly not ...

It is like large vehicles turning left on a tight corner they signal pull out a bit to get the angle to turn and some bloody cyclist or car shoots up the nearside and hits the HGV then our driver gets the blame... Same on roundabouts the number of phone calls I get, complaints about our drivers cutting them up .. Common sense
should tell you they don't bend and need space. I have to be really polite and explain the reason to them an calm them down  .... When all I want to do is tell them they are fucking idiots.. Mostly men I might add ... Angry9:

He presumably was given 24 hours notice.
The tone of the (granted) standard letter was very intimidating tbh and imo.

He hasn't turned up here, so can only presume he's been given either a verbal or written warning....FFS! Banghead

Just have a look at the next bus/hgv you see, and see how many scrape marks are on it. evil:

Honesty it seems, doesn't always pay. noooo:

It seems to me it is his management that are incompetent twats.... It sounds like the letter is bullying like he has been found guilty before he has had a hearing...

That/THIS is the EXACT problem with management, EVERYWHERE! Banghead

JOM is right some of us praise as much as possible...and don't bully but there are times when it is necessary for discipline ... But some employers are taking it too far (including mine at times but not always).
It sounds to me that G Jr' s boss is incompetent and lacks experience .... ::)
