Re: Was there any disciplinary procedures in British R & TV factories?
One side issue to being sent home or suspended- is that you don't get to see that all the desktop sockets have been replaced with steel ones, or be told of the new procedure to cease all hotwork 1 hour before the facility closes. I would place a bet that one or both of these precautions will be put in place.
My own feeling is that the manager who has sent the OP home is probably scared of getting a rollicking- so is over-reacting by passing the blame downwards. If you are called to a 'meeting' it's vital to seek an advocate even if company policy stipulates that the advocate is only allowed to ask questions and make notes- the mere presence of a third party destabilises the victimisation culture. If Chris was closer I'd offer myself!
