Hi All
My partner has been called to a disciplinary next week and has been informed that he may lose his job because of, 'unauthorised use of internet'. Basically, he works as a Purchase Ledger but has approached the company several times about getting a position in the IT department because this is his area. He took the position as a Ledger because that's all they had at the time of his applying for work there.
He has offered his services to the company regarding helping with the new company website etc and they accepted his offer and took note of his comments which they regarded to be very helpful. This was all on a voluntary basis. They also authorised his use of the internet for research purposes.
Since he has started the job, his supervisor has been obstructive and even unhelpful when he has needed her support. When he was helping the company with the website she would refuse to speak to him when he returned to the office and seemed to be giving him more work to do than others. My partner is more qualified than her so I think she feels threatened by him. His attitude has been (although he gets frustrated!) to carry on as normal as much as possible and to try and ignore her attitude and be pleasant to her.
Well now she has done this as it's her name on the letter of notification. There's another guy involved who is also more qualified than her but very much stands up to her and is my partner's friend - he also has been given the same letter to attend a disciplinary for the same reasons. I would like to ask: will he keep his job? I first thought of this question at 6 .00 a.m. at Liverpool England but I was half asleep and not very focused! (don't know if this makes any difference!) I thought of it again at 06.07 am when I was more awake!
I feel very , very, strongly about this as my partner had been trying to find work for a while when he got this job. He suffers from Bi- Polar disorder (his supervisor doesn't know about this but he did put it on his application form so personnel are aware) and has been so well since he got this job. His confidence has grown and he has had no incidences of the Bi- Polar since he started the job.
He had his first 'episode' 3 years ago in response to his father being jailed for 12 years for child abuse. The whole family were scared up until the time he was arrested because he had always threatened them with what he would do if they told anyone. (he, his brothers and sisters and some of their childhood friends). I think it was the fact that it had been kept secret for so long and then like a pressure cooker, the lid came off and my partner became ill and had a psychotic episode. He had to be sectioned in hospital because he was considered to be a danger to himself and others. I nursed and looked after him and now I'm afraid he will lapse into something again because of the stress. I feel so angry with this woman. He is so inoffensive and sensitive and I'm scared this will tip him over the edge.
I would be very grateful for any responses
Many thanks
