I have taken the advice and I am going to have to hear out the disciplinary hearing next week. I may submit a grievance, but if I do, I think that it will probably spell the end of my job! That's the spot I'm in. Had I handed in my grievance two days ago I might have been in a different scenario, however I was told, off the record, not to. And now I face the prospect of getting the chop. I'm not disputing that I stole a packet of cigarettes, but the sence of fair play in this company is so low, I do not feel I am able to have a fair hearing.
