Don't know why I've quoted my own post :/
I'm not planning on going in to work shouting the odds, ringing the branch and yelling at the manager in question.
But if I knew where he worked I might actually know him, and would know if this was the sort of thing he did a lot, or if he would be likely to be planning on cleaning off the bike and sorting it out in a "I was only joking" way. It might be helpful to know the sort of bloke he is in general.
If it does then that is constructive dismissal.As has been said, in the real world although this has happened, at 16 and a first job, confrontation at this stage may make the job untenable.
Not a manager no, on very good terms with mine though.I gather you are a Halfords manager?: Ask Craven to pm you with details
If it does then that is constructive dismissal.
That's out of order.
Personally I'd take a less confrontational line and say something like 'I don't mind a bit of messing about and I can take a joke, but damaging my property and putting me in a hazardous situation (by making me make my way home without my transport at 10pm) isn't funny'.
If the response is an apology, then fine. If it's not, then I'd be contacting either his manager or HR. I'd imagine that Halfords will have some sort of 'ethics' policy that this is a contravention of.
But hasn't taking employers to a tribunal just been made much more difficult or expensive or something or have I misunderstood ?
