My employers breached every single protocol to get rid of me two years before my normal retirement and after 38 years of service. They denied me a dignified exit to my beloved career that I never want to retire from. I also lost out on my pension.
They refused to give me a list of examples of my alleged incapability. During the capability process that they insisted that I would be disciplined if I did not follow, they breached it at least 8 times in my 8 years with them. They made me correct their substandard work during my informal capability process and then write about them helping me to correct their own substandard work as though I was correcting my own mistakes. They then emailed it to HR team trying to frame me incapable.
My union representative, when she witnessed the 3 harassers bullying and harassing (B&H) me, filed B&H grievance against them. The Divisional manager withheld the favourable report from me but one of the harassers lost his job and another one only lost half of her job. She was allowed to further undermine my authority and instructed my next line manger to carry on mal practising to B&H me for another two years. She victimised me even more and sabotaged my work, excluded me from meetings, stopped me from training and supported and encouraged staff to undermine me.
When I protested and on advice from HR team and the bullying and harassment (B&H) policy, and filed for B&H grievance against my employers, they signed a process with my new line manager and HR to constructively set me up for dismissal. They stalled my grievance and counter complained that I threatened them with the grievance. Before that I begged them for a list of examples of my alleged incapability so that I could work on to improve but not only did they refused, they used theirs to frame me incapable.
They got one of the harasser to be the biased investigator and I should have resigned as it was a forgone conclusion that they were setting me up for dismissal. But I was too scared to loose my job as I got a mortgage and a family to look after.
The disciplinary officer victimised me for filing the B&H grievance before saying that I did it to derail the capability process and that I did it before resulting with two managers lost their jobs and I was doing it again to punish my managers. I did not and they have no proof. Infact, the HR team and one of my harassers, instructed my line manager to start, stopped, start, stop and start the capability process on me 8 times in my 8 years of employment with them, as they were breaching the status quo of the capability process while the B&H grievance investigations were going on. They derailed my capability process not me.
The appeal panel found that there was not enough evidence that I threatened them but upheld my dismissal because I was intimidating in my whistle blowing incomplete and unauthorised appraisal, where I claimed that they were discriminating against me. They victimised me for whistle blowing.
My union would not help me as they believed every single lies my employers dished out to discredit and slandered me. My employers also prevented the union to ask questions and they did not persevere with their complaints to allowed me a fair representation.
My home insurance refused to help and told me that I should have let my employers B&H me as I was the servant and my employers the bosses!
The employment tribunal was very biased and copied my employers’ unsubstantiated lies and perjury. They accused me of derailing the capability process without any proof. They also accused me of threatening my employers without asking for proof. I did not threaten them.
When I paid another barrister to appeal, the appeal judge would not allowed me a proper appeal hearing as he said he could not ask for a retrial about how the first judge came to the conclusion that I was threatening my employers and my employers committing perjury and slander.
My first barrister filed protected disclosures, unfair dismissal and racial discrimination for me. At the ET he was not prepared for my racial discrimination and left it to the judge. I did not give permission to drop it and I did not get a fair representation as I was not asked if I wanted to say anything or to drop it.
The appeal process was a waste of time as they refused to reinvestigate how the judge had supported my employers’ perjury to destroy my 40 years of NHS career that I worked and studied so hard for up to management and masters’ level at two London universities and in various London hospitals.
The judge was biased and gave excuses that if my employers were mocking my English,”HR and me s****** about your in English” why did I not stopped the disciplinary meeting?
The judges make excuses for my employers’ malpractice but did not believe me when I had proof that they mocked my English, which is my third language.
One of my harassers, in my absence lied that he used to correct me using the word “incapability” as he was not even sure if there was such a word in the oxford English dictionary. A few days after that he did not criticised and mocked another harasser as she also used that word to accuse me 8 years later, “What about you’re English? Isn’t that your incapability?” She used others and her own substandard work as my incapability. There was no proof that I was incapable. In fact, she issued the 5th capability process on me; even though my line manager already deemed me competent. She stated that she was afraid that I would make the 5 departments failed the CPA inspections. When I worked extremely hard and we passed she issued me the next formal stage of the capability process citing new issues like trying to get me to stop doing my authorised flexi time.
The judgement letter after the ET hearing also supported my harassers to also mock my English saying that “she likes using the word incapability!” I was very upset that even the judge would mock my English, knowing that I had already suffered so much being mocked for having English as my third language. What other word should I use when dealing with capability procedures?
The judge also very biasly supported one of the harassers to be the biased investigators saying that she knew what we were talking about. There were so many managers who could have done the job un-biasly. It was clear that they judge also discriminated against me as I was a minority against a big organisation.
I would like a good lawyer to help me to see what else I could do to get justice, please. Also if anybody who is thinking of getting a job with these managers they would want to know that they would not suffer like I did for whole 8 years.
My managers had wasted 8 years of tax payers’ money in their vendetta to get rid of me because according to one of the harassers, “I was different from them and that I would never be acceptable. This was also because English is my third language.
