ET3 form is coming back next week and my grievance investigation just started today
Hey guys, be patient and try to be articulate in my case.
I submitted a grievance at work last year in July regarding my two senior managers' discrimination against me. Then HR did not organise any grievance for me. At the beginning of October, I went for ACAS for early conciliation. After a month, I did not have my grievance and received an ACAS certificate. As things went very bad for me, I suffered from work-related stress due to repetitive bullying behaviour of two senior managers and other colleagues as well. I took sick leave in late November. I submitted a tribunal claim (ET1 form) in January after I was back to work in mid-January. In February, I resigned due to work-related stress and bullying.
The Tribunal accepted my case and my employer will answer me back on the ET3 form next week. Today I had the first stage of my grievance--investigation. It was very peculiar for the investigator to ask me four times in a row whether I would give her more evidence in my grievance. I did not answer her question properly, but I replied to her that I would get back to her in three weeks.
Here are my questions:
a.) In my original grievance back in July, my respondents were two senior managers-- A and B. In my ET1 form submitted in January, my employer was my respondent and I showed the people who discriminated against me (I am afraid it was a long story of characteristics of discrimination in my case and I don't want to disclose it) at work. This includes the original A and B in my grievance and a couple of other people--C and D.
Apart from A and B, would my employer's solicitor argued that they would not look into my complaints of C and D in my ET1 form since I submitted a claim in January based on the ACAS certificate issued in November and the certificate was about the early conciliation which my employer did not organise the grievance I submitted in July last year? In that grievance only A and B involved.
b.) Why did the investigator keep asking me additional evidence about my grievance? hypothetically, if I told her I did not have additional evidence, would it mean that my employer would not consider C's and D's behaviour towards me in my ET1 form.
c.) Should I put C's and D's discrimination against me I mentioned in my ET1 form as additional evidence in my current grievance? Should the people's discrimination against me in the ET1 form be in line with the same people's discrimination against me in my original grievance? To honest, a lot of things happened between the time after I submitted my grievance and before I took my sick leave. I had to put C's and D's discrimination against me during that time in the ET1 form
c.) Although my last day at work was next week, my grievance just started. How should I process when the ET3 form comes in next week at the same time? An ACAS conciliator has contacted me that he would be someone between me and my employer to deal with my tribunal case. What I am concerned is that I don't want to say something which jeopardises my tribunal case in any grievance meeting coming up with my employer.
Thank you in advance!

If so, given that in some of them you mention union support, why are they not advising you professionally?4
