been sacked! 1st time in 26 years.... not good

[G1BB0]

sooo, its Monday, LFC are top of the league, been up since 6 doing CV and sending off about a million applications. Meanwhile had an email from the union and the appeal is in on the grounds of being 2 harsh and incorrect (wont bore with details).

I have an interview already on Tuesday 8th for a potential job back in IT so about to load VMware and start playing with server 2012 etc (I am sure not much has changed but still need to remind the old grey matter). CBT Nuggets downloaded for some extra cramming and messing with windows 7. Also 2 other companies getting back to me tomorrow.

I actually think even if I win the appeal a job back in IT is for me as I love dabbling and learning & problem solving. A glutton for punishment maybe

Good luck with the interview and potential interviews mate.
My missus was sacked years ago along with three other members of staff and they took their employer to a tribunal which they won. She really enjoyed being able to tell him to shove his job after he had to offer their jobs back to them.
It's never nice to have to work for a firm you know doesn't really want you there for what ever reason.

Good luck! Better to try new pastures and let the union push for compensation or what ever they do. Chalk it up as an experience and move forward.

If you had a week off followed by a 3 weeks spell of sickness that would be 80 points accrued and therefore, in a disciplinary scenario where we work.

Nothing should happen for twice. The idea is that it picks up the people who consistently take single sick days

Good luck with the interview and the appeal. Hopefully you'll get a job in IT and win the appeal which will allow you to then turn round and tell them to stick it.

...and maybe some DCS, Hyper-V and VMM? Get onto that CLoud

 

[G1BB0]

nooooo not the dreaded cloud!! lol

I actually fancy VOIP more as my experience is more telephony/networking based or going down the ADSL/VDSL route
