    Go find someone else to bother. And, FTR, you're TRYING to put words in my mouth. Kindly, politely, accept I'm not interested in communicating with you at ANY level.

    I did indicate I was trying to be as brief as possible. What else can I tell you? He physically pushed past my co Director to get out - he couldn't get out quick enough In other incidents - daily insubordination, bullying by verbal intimidation (swearing at female staff), refusal to...

    Complex Summary Dismissal Scenario

    I appreciate imperfections have occurred. I also am grateful for responses. My fellow director and I have 20+ years business experience but (thankfully some might say) no prior experience of having to Dismiss someone. I am expecting criticism for the Process but also seek confirmation that...

    Complex Summary Dismissal Scenario

    You need to differentiate between the appropriateness of the SD and any failings in procedure. I am aware of the imperfections in the process and any shortcomings in that area would be addressed by an ET in their summation. I will answer your questions however. Wriiten Notice - No. He was...

    Complex Summary Dismissal Scenario

    He was present. He was told of the decision. He chose to only say "right I will see you at the tribunal" - although an attempt to convey his right to appeal was about to be made. I wouldn't say he was "restrained" but he wasn't encouraged to go. WRT procedures I will answer that in response...

    Using a similar business Name

    There's an ongoing situation not far from me where (say we say) dishonest individuals whose previous business venture was either terminated or bought out have resurfaced 100 miles away using the original logo and claiming to be part of a (large) group that includes their previous ventures.
