However, the last line of your response was very telling

"a maverick play that im not sure even i would be capable of:)"

I'm sure I speak for 99.9999% of employees, ex or otherwise, would not think to do such a thing, but you aren't sure if you could do that or not.

Slowly but surely your character is seeping through and not in a good way.

well im male non-ethnic minority, so no chance for me at a tribunal!

my problem is i tend to be too upfront, i say how i feel. what i am not is sneaky and manipulative, which seems to be the case of your employee. i have sympathy with you if she attempted to pull the wool over your eyes in that way. if i had a problem with you i would say so outright - and i would end up losing out most probably!

that's what happened to me in my drink throwing incident. it was not the protagonists involved that reported me, as they would have left it, but management who were told about it. the protagonists had no choice but to recount events at an investigation.

funnily enough it was her i e-mailed and asked her what the hell was said in the investigation, that i still liked her despite it all and that whoever set up the investigation (naming names!) was a !!!!!!! and weak. and yes she stitched me up on receipt of said email.

strangely i sent it to her personal email and not work...should that make a difference?

im reminded of a steely dan song, 'my old school', one line says 'i never thought the girl could be so cruel':)

as to why i lost my job offer, thats a different story.

So you assaulted a colleague who wasn't even interacting with you, contacted a potential witness and complained in email about another employee doing his job.

I'm not sure I believe because to be honest I don't understand why you were only given a warning. TBH you are lucky the police weren't involved as well.

i contacted the witness after the investigation was complete, so this was concerned a new incident.

in the investigation notes it actually says the incident was 'not of a nature that could be considered as an assault'

which gives you an idea of how serious it actually was, despite the admittedly charged circumstances.

Sorry but this seems unlikely in the extreme.

If she wasn't fired then it must have been a constructive dismissal claim and only 3% of those are successful.

A payout of £27K is nearly four times the average so the tribunal must have felt you were significantly at fault.

I don't think we are getting the full story here!

So Milkshock you are the archetypal wounded 'alpha male'?

You continue to have my sympathy. Unfortunately employment law is predominantly female.

maybe it wasnt my business, you're right, but at that moment i reacted in what might be termed a 'human' manner.

for about 30 seconds i felt i was being slapped in the face repeatedly and i acted in a stupid manner.

you cannot deny there was some provocation, my poor choice to get involved.

as i said, she, in particular, made sure i saw what was going on.

That was not a human manner, it was yobbish and bullying, you have a strange view of the world if that is a normal way to react. Perhaps you should think about anger management therapy; but then you would only argue that the therapist was wrong!

And not only employment law but the workplace as a whole has become incredibly feminised to the extent that men are quite simply disenfranchised in the office.

try and question womens actions and you are merely on the road to a sex discrimination/harrassment claim!

What a crock. And yes, I am male.
