This week boss had talk to all staff informing us redundancies were being considered ie start of consultancy period. All staff then received letter reiterating what was said in meeting. Then this Saturday received letter in post(dated same day as redundancy meeting) stating "allegations have been made about my conduct in the workplace" and i am required to attend a "fact-finding meeting next week. No details given of what the allegations are, just note saying as this is not yet formal disciplinary action I am not entitled to have someone with me. So i have to go to this meeting with no clue about what the issue is and answer questions prepared by boss, the results of which could lead to disciplinary action.
I have been with this company in a senior position for 5 years, have never had any adverse comments about my work or conduct. i am aware that i am one of the most expensive members of staff and that my employers may well be motivated to get a less well qualified person into my position at a cheaper salary to save money. Obviously they could not do this if i was made redundant as they would not be able to employ someone else in the same role.
What can i do? I feel that my name is being blackened and I will be pushed out of my job without compensation just to save my employers some money.
