DH has been suspended without pay. Short story is that he got ridiculously drunk at a work function. He’s fairly senior and he recalls nothing. I am absolutely livid with him but our relationship issues are for another thread. We’re planning for it to be dismissal and he is spending the time updating his CV and meeting with agencies. He also getting the relevant employment rights advice (I should add that we’re not in the UK). I am wondering if anyone was ever offered a way back from this or if dismissal is pretty much a done deal and we’re just going through the motions? Either way I think his working relationship is ruined but staying, even in the short term, would be a better outcome.
