2-year serious/ suspended dismissal?

[fmrPOSTIE]

What mis-demeanours would warrant this sort of disciplinary action by Royal Mail (the 2 year serious warning or suspended dismissal), its in the conduct code but why would you get a suspended dismissal?

Swearing at a customer.

Not me,a friend of a friend.

[fmrPOSTIE]

2 charges Swearing at a customer and disclosing confidential information.

Customer came out ranting about a packet she was waiting for.
He told her that her packet had been lying in the office for a week.(no packet duties).
She went ballistic.
He told her to feck off.
2 year suspended dismissal.

A wee guy in our office got threatened of a colleague with witnesses there everything got turned around to make him out to be the bad one, as far as i'm aware he's on a 2year thingy, Yep f***ing stinks eh! Bullying Managers and their little favourites, seems anything goes in our office depending who you are, 1 rule for employees another rule-book for the blue-eyed boys.

I got a two year serious for playing pool whilst suppossed to be working! i didnt even get to finish the game!

Fortunately the gaffer was a baw bag and it got dismissed!

So, how come Managers aren't suspended for sweraing at us?. I would also point out that as the press have repeatedly made mention of the backlog of mail,so no one should be penalised for advising customer of the same.

Not being funny - it's how RM operate , somebody gets threatened by somebody , RM twist everything round on it's head to suggest the threatened person was the perpetrator - a stitch up

It's how they protect their managers .

If you'd witnesses to corroborate something , RM will find witnesses ( usually blue eyed boys ) from nowhere ( often other managers - sometimes looking for promotion ? ) to state the complete opposite happened or deny something . Bit like a prison - 9 screws swear blind that such and such a thing happened .

As far as RM are concerned , staff have been "discouraged " from putting grievances & complaints in , RM's attitude is that there is too many complaints . Everything is to a predetermined outcome and to impress .

The person on a serious warning has been softened up on Planet RM - the boxes have been ticked . I've known people get other jobs at less pay and resign as RM have deliberately made things difficult - to RM it's a result , they and other firms will have this down to a fine art , the problem is that it's notoriously hard to prove the blindingly obvious in a Constructive Dismissal Tribunal .
