to all my fellow members
during my working shift on Wednesday 3rd august I got into a
heated discussion with my fellow colleague this resulted in
flem(develops due to being worked up and stressed )coming out
and landing on my colleagues vest
I am now being accused of spitting which I am not and this has
affected me emotionally and physically and im not that kind of
person
I am not returning to my current place of work and will look for
something else when this has been resolved
I will continue to post when possible and your support will be
gratefully appreciated at this most difficult time
many thanks

Really sorry to hear this has happened to you, have you tried
explaining to your work place, that you got worked up and it was
unintentional?

So sorry this has happened. Do you have a union rep or
supervisor that can help you to write a statement about what
happened? If not I can help you write one. Even if you choose
not to go back, it would still clear your name regarding intent.
Sending hugs.

thank you all for your kind responses things have moved quickly
so will try and explain as best as possible
with the help of my dad we sent a letter to the company's hq and
depot in the meantime I was summoned through a letter to attend
a disciplinary investigation via my dad a statement from me was
sent but the way I was treated and it was all done was wrong and
my dad was thinking of going down the tribunal route away from
this my brother got in touch with the independence trust and
spoke to a nice kind woman by the name of Pippa
anyway Pippa spoke to my dad and she mailed me with a general
introduction to her role we are due to meet her after she comes
back off leave on 31st meanwhile the company's manager has
phoned my dad and is not best pleased into how I was treated and
the disciplinary hearing wont take place due to me currently off
sick but he wants to meet up with me at a neutral location for a
chat about returning to the workplace or the suggestion of being
somewhere else in the same area of work
so I'm at a crossroads at the moment but have made a list of
what I could do instead but the independence trust will support
me if I change jobs and will include training
I will update again with further news when possible

latest update
a few weeks ago my dad had a phone call from the company's 2nd
in command- massive apologies for putting me in the position
that I was in but due to being off with this then resulting in
infection the disciplinary investigation has been suspended and
my statement now not part of it either
however he did want to meet me at a site he sometimes runs which
I did yesterday from this he has said that the investigation
will continue to be looked at and the outcome being in many of
these cases "a slap on the wrist"
so I have a choice of going to this site or returning to
workplace but that will be decided once my infection clears
which has not yet so will be poss be signed off tomorrow for
another week
thanks again to all you ratetheref members for your support and
will update you again when possible

update to fellow members
after a 9 week absence due to stress and leg abcess I returned
to work last week(Monday)at midday I was summoned to attend a
discussion outlining the opening of the disciplinary hearing
regarding the alleged spitting incident on 9th august
it has been decided following the discussion and receiving a
disciplinary letter that my version of events will be heard on
Thursday at 2pm my dad has done a well documented transcript of
the goings on and describing how due to my autism Its impossible
to me to do the alleged offence
this will be presented and hopefully we should get a result
fri/mon which is either not enough evidence no case to answer a
written warning or the boot any result and I'm then poss going
to the docs to be signed off with stress poss then appeal if I'm
so say guilty and get a warning
the support from my fellow ratetheref members is appreciated
very much
