  • The op needs to be aware of the time limits in taking it to a tribunal.
  • VAB = Vexed and Broke.. haha i have now corrected.

    i hope OP gets sorted.
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)
  • Seems a bit harsh sacking someone for a wet carpet. Is there something you are forgetting to add ?
    Funnily enough I'm not forgetting to add anything. I was pretty shocked when I was dismissed for it. I just reckon management were looking for something to get rid of me on. If not this, something else.

    Cheers for all the help guys.

    How does a wet carpet pose a fire risk? More likely to stop it


    Maybe something to do with wiring?

    Anyway, reporting it 15 minutes later is hardly ignoring it. Even if it is a H&S matter, they'd have to prove you weren't meeting H&S requirements (assuming they had actually properly trained you in the first place) by not reporting it and I doubt they could if you actually did, a mere 15 mins later.

    Good luck mate. Ignore those who come here to pass miserable, snotty comments and see about a union.
    :idea:
