Working in a Civil Service role. I am looking to leave ASAP, just waiting on a DBS check to return but it's a case of how long is a piece of string. Hoping it's no more than a couple of weeks now, anyway it might sound daft but I'm anxious about being sacked before then.
I haven't committed gross misconduct but this organisation seem to be constantly threatening firing people for breaches of security. There are things I haven't and wouldn't ever do such as looking up myself or someone I know, sending customer info to my personal email etc. And obviously would never be abusive towards anyone, however I'm worried about making a mistake.
They threaten that we could end up in court if there's any sort of breach of personal info or if we've forgotten to redact anything, if we've made even a small mistake.
Also worried about being sacked for poor performance. I passed probation in another CS department but I've still been here under 2 years. Want to ask about downgrading to an AO role but I'm worried it'll flag up somewhere if I ask.
Just feel constant anxiety and it's a waiting game with the DBS. I know majority of roles have consequences but just constantly worry about being sacked. As an aside does anybody know the likelihood of being able to downgrade from an EO to AO role? They tend to recruit in big cohorts here.
