Hi, just need a bit of support really....i had a mid-probation review sprung on me a month ago which ended in a "formal warninng" with fairly spurious reasons. Some were me being blamed for other peoples actions, others were minor points (we are talking spreadsheet formatting! An email that wasnt answered!) but they also kept telling me how good i am at my job. My boss never addressed these concerns directly with me and one of them was fairly serious, about my working hours which had never been dcumented only vebally discussed.
I think the underlying cause is my pregnancy which i stupidly announced on day three of employment in the interests of honesty and clarity. Ive got pgp and they refused me flexible working and didnt carry out an assessment until i pushed for it. I felt unable to act on a doctors note advising home working (100mile commute) but as soon as i handed one in, was summoned for ths meeting. Since then, hr has been obstructive (eg witholding minutes from me, insisting on maternity leave letter a week before deadline etc). I know they are probably just trying to get rid f me as even though i wont get any cash, my pension contributions alone will come to over 20k and they are paying that. Ive cut my mat leave to six months in a bid to stop them sacking me.
But im so scared that they will sack me now. I only wanted them to over turn the warning asit was way over the top, but hr kept telling me there was no recourse to appeal so i had no choice. What goes on at a grievance hearing? I so worried and not sure i can cope with this strain at six months pregnant. The atmosphere with my boss is going to be intolerable. Should i just resign? Dh says there is no way they will uphold it even though i have emails etc. Woud just like some advice from anybody who has gone through similar...
