and other employees and their conduct. They say this has created a negative working environment in which several staff have complained.(althought I am an acting area manager in charge of only 5 staff ??) I feel this is some kind of get of jail free card to deny me the promised promotion and also demote me /force me into resigning. Am I entitled to see written evidence of said staff ?and if so what are the proper disciolinary procedures ? I have seen this happen to another colleague but he simply resigned and found another job. I will eventually do the same but do not want to be taken for a mug. Any ideas on the proper procedures i.e. I have recieved a typed statement through the post regarding this but have just be sent a text message !! from my immediate regional manager to attend a disciplinary meeting tomorrow ?????

Get copies of everything in writing- cause they are going to try to fire you.

You sound Like you work for a bank ! No you don't have the right to see what others have said, unless it is an individual personal complaint regarding abuse in the work place from you ,it is unlikely any company would do anything like this just to refuse a position unless they want to be sued for 150,000 plus 3 year full wage and inconvenience compensation. every company has slightly different rule and procedures regarding dignity at work (which is what this come under ) however every company is pretty much the same , the text may just be a reminder to the letter already received and advising you to prepared have a note pad of constructive and relevant questions not who did it and where do they live more how can i rectify this ave there any specific incidents and check out http://www.dignityatwork.org/

Go to the meeting to gather the evidence. Try and representation there as well; a Union Rep Maybe. Check you company disciplinary policy as well.
Do not commit to anything without consultation and get everything documented.
One question you will have to ask yourself, of course, are the charges being made accurate? Do you deserve a ticking off? And how it will affect you promised promotion.

It depends upon the wording of your Contract of Employment. Read it very carefully before you attend the meeting so that you know where you stand. It could be said to be against company rules and therefore you may need to "eat humble pie" and apologise. You are usually obliged by contract to support your employer in front of staff and clients, even if you disagree with your employer on some aspects of your work. Your contract should set out formal procedures for disagreements and grievances.

If your a uni member, speak to them straight away this does not sound like the correct working practice .. a txt message? thats crazy. Also they should have some solid evidence..written statements from employees or something... Big question is do you have a contract disciplinary guidliness should be in there.

They were going to promote you but now they are trying to get rid of you. Sounds like if they have no grounds you should appeal the whole process. A promotion means more money and they are trying to make you quit ao they don't have to pay. I would stick around and see what happens, deny all that is not true but be honest with things that are. It is a game they are playing.
Good luck.

Sounds like a crap company....look for a better place to work, somewhere genuine and positive, not just pretending to be.

More than likely you are in an "At-Will" employment state which means you are pretty much screwed. Get your resume out as fast as you can.
