Hello Guys,
I have started working at Maplin since March 2008 basically im having some major problems with my manager and i can't seem to identify where the problem is?
Couple of days ago i had a family problem so i did not turn up to work and couldn't call in. So when i returned to work the very next day the store manager said he was going to fill a return to work form so i said ok.
Basically we sat down in the office and he asked why i did not turn up to work so i said its a private matter and i don't wish to discuss it. He got angry and just said you been ill 3 times since you started he asked why i did not come in when i was ill funny enough i said how can i come in if im ill he said well you can come in and i would give you light duties!!!!! This made me feel pissed how he can expect me to turn up to work when you’re ill!
Well that’s not the problem the main problem was when he asked the question "ARE YOU A CRIMINAL?" i said can you clarify that question he asked again "Are you a criminal again?" I asked him why he might want to ask this question he said a member of staff told him that i was a criminal before i started this job and i was a fraudster and was a gangster! The only thing i said to a member of staff was i could help him sort his cable box for him. I don't know if it was that member of staff who told him or if he overheard us!!!
So told him to do a CRB check on me and he replied “I CAN BE A CRIMINAL AND NOT GET ARRESTED!” And not have any criminal records!
He said since i started working the tills were down some days and stock was going missing all i said was we get searched every time we leave the premises so how can i steal?? He said im not saying it's you!!!
All this happened while filling a return to work form!!!!
Couple of weeks ago i told him to transfer me to a closer maplin branch so he told me to go to a meeting on 31/07/08 (today) which then he told me that i lost my chance and that i have to go to a disciplinary meeting because i did not tell him why i was AVOL although i insisted that it's private and i don’t wish to discuss it.
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME I NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS I FEEL REALLY DEMOTIVATED AND ANGRY!
Sorry about the caps
