    The other thing that annoys me is that in the letter I had today, the "scorecard" shows how to answer in order to get the necessary points.

    I should have gone smelling of ale, unwashed and perhaps cried a bit.

    I agree. The information on the link was last updated in Nov 2007, I thought that things changed early this year?

    Promise I'll look in a min! x
    Gone ... or have I?

    That's one of options I will be pursuing once my head has stopped being a shed.

    Don't want to go back to the old job and be bullied and harassed all over again.

    If this is the case, could you claim for constructive dismissal?

    If I thought I would be in with a chance of winning or at least drawing, I would be going down this route.

    The woman in question has made life misery for quite a number of people, and she comes out smelling of roses each time she has been challenged.

    I think the fact that she is ahem "friendly" with someone from senior management has a lot to do with it.

    Thanks for your thought though.

    Maybe if all the people she has affected get together you could do something about her. Management would surely have to do something or go above their head?

    That's been done too.

    Upshot: some of senior management lied at the hearing. I use the term advisedly. Lied their eyes out.

    The members of staff who gave evidence against her were told that they could be disciplined for doing so. They were moved from their positions shortly after.

    The Union rep has also had run-ins with her, and been warned that she is harrassing this "person"!

    That makes me really angry :mad:
    I would be inclined to have it out with them ( while secretly recording the conversation ;) )
