UPS v. Tesco

Rather interesting scenario.

Tesco saw its shares fall by £4.3 Billion yesterday based on a 16% fall in its share price. This was driven by a forecast of minimal growth in its profits. That's minimal growth in its profits. Not a fall in profits or an actual loss, just minimal growth.
Now what would happen to a very large multinational Company if it came to light that it wasn't very ethical & lacked integrity? Yet the Company are happy for me to talk to Solicitors, VOSA and the Union......seepage may happen

Methinks they're calling my bluff.

Bluff called

Tesco results

Summary page submitted with my resignation, and the red crayon's been out again

Slander/ Libel/Defamation

Managers spoken words, submitted to me as the notes and appendices.

Collectively UPS.

Individually Manager’s Platt, Akhtar, McGuinness, Coates, Fowler, O’Donnell. Division Managers Watts, Stone, Marsh, Burrows.

Statement made to Simon Eyers at KFC in Dewsbury. Notes were taken.

Point 4 from the notes and appendices given to me at the start of my grievance hearing. “I (Lisa Bradshaw) have interviewed all managers and Division Managers named at the top of page 2 of his e-mail with the exception of Doug Sutton who is unfortunately deceased. All of the named parties interviewed have stated that if a formal grievance had been raised it would have been investigated and the appropriate action would have been taken”

There is enough implication in the wholesale denial that any integrity issues took place in Dewsbury, to suggest that I have made the whole thing up and am therefore lying.***

Richard Watts has already confirmed that I spoke to him about DW.

Craig Scott confirms other issues with Carl McGuinness.

HR say Managers “may have chosen” not to remember, a euphemism for lied?

Constructive/Unfair dismissal

Continual ignorance of UPS policies. ***

2 Occupational Health referrals based on lies.

                        I can’t learn 6 habits

I refused to do 340 methods – Point 24 N &A “It has been confirmed by Nigel Marsh that he passed the 340 methods workshop, got his route to scratch and also certified a driver on route.

            Advised not to submit new/updated grievance

            Material is too old. Grievance was only in February 2011, therefore admissible.***

            40 page grievance = no memory problem

            Doing the wrong job with the wrong Company (What, am I too honest to work for UPS)

Now told to ignore integrity issues, unless they are at Dewsbury. Backs up my original grievance.

            Nobody questions my integrity or trust yet I’m not believed

            I was told that the information in my grievance was old and worthless. This obviously isn’t true.

           

Point 6 from N & A – “he refers to the annual BEQ questionnaire and states it had no effect” If it had an effect, why a year later could I give Chris Marchant a list of 475 Centreboard issues. It obviously hadn’t stopped.

Point 8 “there are no new examples of Centre Boards being on road” see above.

HR state that I need counselling. This won’t stop the integrity issues happening.

Unnecessary Stress at Work

            Leading to depression

            Break up of marriage

            High blood pressure

           

Retaliation

Preferential treatment to other supervisors

            340 certification

            S & V certification

            SWM training

            Centre cover

            Performance improvement meeting with Lisa Bradshaw based on lies (It never took place)

Steve says that there is no vendetta by him or Craig McIntosh and that it must be HR. Agreeing there’s a vendetta.

HR says that it is mere co-incidence. I say otherwise.***

Tacho/WTA infringements

           

2 years ignorance of legal requirements.

Part of PI meeting was that I hadn’t disciplined a driver for tacho infringements. I said that morally we couldn’t discipline one driver when we were turning a blind eye to many others. Steve never came back to me or spoke to the driver.

Bullying

Nearly forgot a quote for today.

Donald Rumsfeld steps up this morning - Arguments of convenience lack integrity and inevitably trip you up. 

Thanks Donald, I like that one. Could be one of the most apt I've used so far.
