742738 2009-01-29 11:05:00 Chur for the advice bol.

It's sort of 2 different departments, the people with whom I deal on a day to day basis (and the ones who would give me a reference) aren't involved in it, it's the "head office" that's trying to pass on the bill.

Also, I'm not going to be there very long.

Not to mention that as you've all probably notice, I love being a **** stirrer.

742739 2009-01-29 11:05:00 I used to work in a business where those of us who handled cash (and am talking many thousands of dollars each day) were paid a 'cashier's allowance', it really was a pittance, but if you were 'under' at the end of the day then you paid. It didn't happen often and was usually only a few cents. If you were 'over' then it had to be banked. I used to wonder whether the tightwads used the overs to pay the allowance, which was uniform for all cash handlers, whether they dealt with thousands or only a few dollars.

As has been stated, does everyone in the company make good their mistakes, from management down? Do they carry an insurance to cover those sort of mishaps? If it was a common occurence I could imagine they might have a grievance with you, but unless you haven't told us something, then it doesn't seem to be the case.

Meetings are supposed to be for all, or both parties, to contribute.

Work can be crap enough without that petty pathetic bull****.

Can't even fathom how you stomached the situation.

742741 2009-01-29 18:45:00 I suspect Roddy_ Boy is not tilling us the full story here, and something else is amiss as well. Going by your performance on this forum I suspect that. I suspect you might have a bad attitude problem with senior staff and they want to get rid of you.

742742 2009-01-29 19:14:00 I also received with my contract a notice advising me of a meeting tomorrow evening with management, to discuss "Performance of Duties," with a warning that "... this may result in disciplinary actions depending on your reasons/explanation..." Should be an interesting meeting.

Did the notice also tell you that you could bring an observer to verify on your behalf what is said at this meeting?

742743 2009-01-29 22:35:00 Sorry, but how exactly do you lose an office?

it was an older building , we had to move out as it was being sold, so on the friday all the staff went home.
our IT people planed to come in the next week and remove the comupters, desks, phones and such.

problem was that before we got around to colection of the computer stuff the building was re-located.
we found it about 100km down the road, all the computers and desks still in it, un-touched.

742745 2009-01-29 23:43:00 When I was a teller in the bank, if you were under, they tried to see where you went wrong, likewise when over, however they never would ask you for reimbursement. That would imply lack of trust, no business can function if the staff feel the management have no trust in them.

If the teller was out too often, they were either re-trained or moved to a new postion within the company.

So they were promoted...? ;)

742747 2009-01-30 07:28:00 Interesting thing was that there were technically two of us at fault

It takes two people to put mail into bags?
