    I asked for advice not criticism

    You asked for advice when you were in the wrong.

    Were you expecting to people to help you defend to your employer you threatening co-workers?

    I haven't read the whole post, but I've read the OP, and my opinion of the poster is made even lower by the fact that they have deleted their original post so that none of the collected wisdom here is easily accessible by anyone else with a similar problem. Selfish!

    I agree with you so for reference this is the original post:
    I got into work today to be told that the company has received 2 complaints, and that they are suspending me on full pay whilst they are investigating the complaint.
    I think it all stems from a post I put on facebook.Here is the post:-

    So,a particular driver thinks my brother is talking all the time at Friar Lane does He?.Considering my brother cleans more buses than the other 2 cleaners,you are incorrect,and have failed to secure any brownie points.If you think you are clever being a grass, then read this......I am a bigger grass than you.You better be careful now, because I will be gunning after you.The slightest thing you do wrong, or fail to do, I will report you, and that includes failing to fill your defect card out correctly,or failing to record defects that I am aware of from previous days.BE WARNED,AND BE AFRAID.

    I can only guess that the 2 complaints are from the other 2 cleaners.any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • For all those who stated I would be getting my cards, or I best look for another job, or who thought they were offering me sound advice, and thought they were judge and jury, you failed.
    After all the investigation was done,the charge of Threatening Behaviour was abandoned, and the charge of Staff Disharmony was created instead.
    The charge of bringing the company into disrepute still stood, and I was disciplined for those 2 "Offences", to apepar before the Service Delivery Manager yesterday,(friday 27th July).
    As well a sseveral documents, from solicitors, police forces, and a case study, I went in with the Union top man and presented my case.
    The charge of bringing the company into disrepute was abandoned, due to what I produced, as well as using an excerpt from Witham V Club 24.
    The charge of Staff Disharmony i accepted.And walked out with a 6 month warning.
    So,to all those who thought they knew the law, and wanted to be judge and jury.You failed.

    And you're still posting identifiable information on public forums.
    You don't learn, do you.

    Until the next time then.


    And just in case:

    I don't make threats,I make promises.I am aware of the case Witham v Club24.I will be using that in the disciplinary.

    This needs to be quoted for posterity as well. NB I wouldn't suggest anybody making use of the case reference it has little to do with this making threats online via social media.

    Really? Your arrogance remains astounding.

    He got 6 months. This time. But I guess there'll be more than one person looking for an excuse, any excuse. He's not the only onecv I'm sure, to beat a grudge, but the others won't be daft enough to post it, and post it, and post it, and post it...
