I am helping a friend to write a grievance about bullying in the workplace. I have gone through the detail with her, and have all the details - one main incident comprising about 6 elements, and then further incidents which show a pattern of previous bullying behaviour.
My question is, how much detail should I suggest to my friend to include? I have helped her to draft a grievance, and have used headings to try to organise the information - main incident, with each element in point format; previous incidents; impact of the bullying; and conclusion.
I have suggested she formats it at 11 font & 1.5 spacing for ease of reading, but it ends up being 6 pages long!
HR professionals - can I ask, would you lose interest by this stage? Is it better to include the detail, even if it is lengthy? I have tried to help my friend to stick to the main points, but there is necessarily the need to explain background & context.
I have advised her to stick to the facts, and avoid hyperbole. She has however included comment about how she felt as a result.
Also, timing. Is it better to wait a couple of days so that exact dates etc can be verified, or is it better to submit ASAP? Main incident happened 3 days ago. I would be grateful for any advice.
