RE: Help needed.....may loose job....



We have about 45 employees, trouble is the company owner has employed all
his banking colleagues who are all in charge......  it is the general
manager that has caused this trouble.

We have a very large retail store on our books, about 5 Police authorities,
Rail companies and have been in the "Fastest Growing Company"
awards for about 5 or 6 years running.

We are Microsoft Certified, Compaq/HP approved and just been awarded
something very good but I can not remember what it is called.....

The trouble is I was never given a chance to say my part, he just blew his
top.....

And no we do not have a HR / Personnel department.

I really must leave this planet....bring on global warming, they will be
the first with their backs against the wall......

I presume it's a reasonable size company you work for? Would HR / Personnel
be any help?

No, all the 4 laptops I installed RAM into worked fine...then I was banned
from touching them!

I have extracted a lot of good info from the site Mr Doxy mentioned, I am
hoping they publicly apologize to me....but I doubt it somehow...

Thanks all,

B.

Did you actually damage anything though?



Sounds mighty odd to me.



Only thing I can suggest is that if your management call you in - ask for
an impartial witness to be present.



Good luck!

Paul.

Sorry for this but once again I am in trouble......

I was building some laptop machines today and as I was fitting some RAM I
had my wrist band on and connected to a bit of internal metal.

What I usually do is connect the power supply but switched off so as to
earth the PC but this time I was just bonded.

I think I am the only one in the company that owns a wrist band and
probably the only one to use one, but one of the managers decided to have a
go at me saying I should wear a wrist band that is plugged into a power
outlet, fair comment, but if I do that I am still not bonded to the
equipment as I was in the position I was in.

Anyway I have been told to get legal representation tomorrow......

Can anyone point me/advise me of the current thinking on this please?

Thanks all,

B.
