The grievance procedure

Post by brasseye »

Is an absolute farce,

I started mine on july 1st last year , i am about to have my stage 3 appeal meeting this week.

Over 6months to have 3 interviews that take about 20 mins a time.

From what i can gather it should have all been completed within about 1 month and they have dragged it out this long hoping i'll get fed up and not push it till the end, well how wrong they were, once this 3rd meeting and the obvious decision where they protect there manager even though i have a list as long as my arm of his unfair treatment of me.

Then FINALLY i can take it to tribunal, i can't wait.

hope you fight till the end mate, that's why they get away with it because not many people bother to stand up for themselves.

Why are you on a final stage warning, is it to do with sickness etc?

BTW, anyone actually not been given the stage warning when triggered?

you can only go to tribunal if you have already lodged a claim - within 3 months of the last incident complained of.

so when you started the grievance, you should have simultaneously started the tribunal claim...unless there have been further incidents have happened recently, which would mean it has been "continuing", otherwise you may be "time barred" from taking the claim to tribunal.

did you not seek union advice?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
