    I have never been dismissed for gross misconduct, however, if I have left somewhere on bad terms I would usually put contract ended.

    However, be prepared for something to possibly be mentioned in any reference as your employer is bound to be asked why you left.

    Was it recent or a long time ago? Have you held a position successfully since?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Do you mind sharing what happened? Do you have union representation?

    Have you read the company policy regarding misconduct etc....
    What category does swearing at others fall under, is it verbal or written warning territory?
    I wouldn't have thought it would be dismissal after so many years satisfactory employment.

    Are you going into the hearing alone on Monday?

    i have somebody going in with me,they have sent my the documents and they said it would be for gross misconduct and could result in the sack.they are calling it threatening behavior.... which is rubbish.

    i also work for the nhs so i am hoping to get a full time job there in the future but at the mo might see if i can pick up some more hours etc.

    you could leave of your own accord .. whilst the reference would not be favourable it wouldnt say you were dismissed
