A few weeks ago I had my employment terminated, had been there since February, had no indication there were any issues, just went in one day (less than a week after travelling to London for 2 days training) and that was it.
I raised a grievance as I felt I'd been treared unfairly - it's a small company c65 employees and I knew of at least 2 other people who had probation extended due to performance so I felt I had been treated differently, only reason I could think of was because im physically disabled.
I went for a meeting, or should I say character assassination last Friday, I left after 15 minutes as I wasn't getting a chance to address the issue it was basically a list of any tiny error I may have made, along with lies about me not producing reports which I had but of course can't prove I did - none of those supposed issues were ever fed back to me while I worked there.
One thing they stated was that I relied too much on written communication (IM and email) rather than going to talk to people - well that would be because I can only walk short distances using a stick due to my disability and it causes me pain - in fact some colleagues would tell me not to walk over to them! This has cemented my belief that my disability was a factor.
I have legal cover with my home insurance, have never claimed on any policy in my life before, do I just call them to say I need a lawyer?
I want to make sure they don't treat anyone else as unfairly...
