I'm in a dilemma and just wanted some opinions, please...
My partner has been sacked for gross misconduct and I'm not sure how I should feel / what we should do. I don't want to talk to friends about this yet as I'm not sure how they will react, and I don't want this to impact on our children. Our parents do know the full situation and are being very supportive.
Without going into full details, I'm confident that the reason for his dismissal was a one-off mistake on his part - and his line manager has said that they think the HR department have been extremely hard on him. However, this situation has put our family in a dire situation. He's appealing his employer's decision, while at the same time actively looking for work. He's had one interview for a job so far, and explained what has happened during the interview (as it would have come out in a reference). He didn't hear anything back, even after approaching the company for feedback. I'm worried that this whole situation could mean he's unemployable. I'm working, but can't support our family on my own.
This is a mess, and I need to keep things together as he's very depressed that he's the cause of all this. Does anyone have any advice as to how he can approach looking for other work given the situation?
