sent home from work in the night

hook

Regardless of wether the police are doing more about this is neither here or there at the end of the day iwas sent home and it's not like I did anything major. We have a drink and drugs policy and if they had thought that was the.
Case then I would have had to wait on site for a nurse to arrive which can take hours then if hound guilty I would have been sent home. I never hit anyone either it was a stupid disagreement and I never refused to have a meeting with him if he couldn't deal with that situation in a professional manner then he his in the wrong job. I had the chance to do the same job it didn't want it and still don't. So it's not jealousy. I give 100% to my job which is shown by the number of letters I have had from customers.

So really your grievance is that your behaviour was not sufficiently serious to warrant you being sent home? If that is a reasonable assessment of the facts, then you should concentrate on this, as (in my view) the fact that you then had to find your own way home at night is a bit of a red herring, and will only detract attention from the main issue, which is whether your manager acted reasonably in taking the action he did in response to your conduct.

Personally I would try and stay calm when raising the issue with senior management.

You do not want to risk your job. The management may find you were both falling short of the standards they expect in the work place etc. and may decide to give both a warning, after all it's important for a business that all staff can work together.

Will you get paid for the hours you were sent home?

If you are not a member of a union you need to ask a work colleague who is known for being reasonable and is respected to help you assess whether you should persue the matter. Do not fall into the trap of fighting other aggrieved colleagues battles. It's all very well them contacting you saying he was out of order etc. but do they have the guts to speak up independantly?

I think we would all agree that it would be safer walking before 10:00pm than after midnight.

Would we?

Lots of vampires in your area, are there?

You have to understand some people come on this forum for no other reason than to get pleasure out of hearing stories of authority abuse, they love it and they are always first to get the boot heel and grind your blooded face in the dirt, just to finish you off.
I think it is a payback for having a dead end job where they get talked down to all day.
They come here to get boot-licker !!!!!!, to back up authority, to enjoy watching victims getting beaten.
You will never convince them, instantly time after time they jump down on the side of authority, they are never wrong.

Personally I feel what happened to you was disgusting, put you in danger and you should get your side of the tale in as quickly as possible and tell it like it is.
Any body who would send a girl out to walk home on her own on a night and not even organise a taxi or some transport is not fit to be in charge of a hen house, never mind employees.
Go for it girl.

What makes you think that the OP is a girl? She's obviously a grown woman and could be in her fifties, for all you know.

I find all this "not safe walking home alone/I wouldn't let my daughter do it" malarkey totally insulting.

Thank you so much - I hate people referring to grown women as girls. If they are old enough to be adults then they are old enough to make sensible decisions about things.

But I see you have met my daughter.... I would pity the man who tried anything on with her. Her mother brought her up very badly - taught her how to fight! Apart from me she is possibly one of the scariest things out at night!

Good for you - nobody benefits from women keeping indoors after dark and especially the women themselves.

I agree entirely. As I said before, the employer is highly unlikely to spend as much time on this red herring as they are on the issue of why the situation arose in the first place.

That's a stupid remark.

No......at 10:00pm in an industrial estate, there will be many shiftworkers finishing/starting around that time.

In a town centre, buses will still be running, food outlets will still be operating, and there will be more people on the streets than after midnight.

But you already knew that.

Just my attempt at humour.:)

I don't believe that the streets are intrinsically unsafe anyway and I certainly don't think women should stay indoors because men want them to live their lives in fear!
