Hi. Can someone give me some advice please?
I've been issued with a letter of concern from my employer regarding two points. 1. My refusal to do a particular type of work. 2. Raising my voice to an inappropriate level.
Issue 1 is when I explained to my team leader why i hadn't had time to do work I was asked to do. I did not refuse to do it and the other 3 workers in the office had not had time to do the very same work either, as my team leader is fully aware of.
Issue 2 is my team leader and I strongly discussing the issue why the work was not done.
My employer wants me to sign a letter of concern stating I agree to improve my performance, and if I don't improve then they will take further action. The problem is that I didn't refuse to do the work as the letter states and my voice was at the same level as my team leaders. Also, there was no complaint made about me, just a discussion in a room with my team leader and our manager. No notes were taken. When my manager stated in that meeting she was going to see HR and discuss a verbal warning for me, I asked what for and was told "inappropriate conduct". I asked her to clarify exactly what and she repeated "inappropriate conduct".
A few days so later I was pulled aside by my manager and told I would be issued with a letter of concern.
So my question is, should I sign the document when I don't agree with it? I'm very uncomfortable with signing a document that suggests I'm agreeing with the accusations, when I really don't agree with them at all.
My background is over 10 years in my place of work with no previous complaints, concerns about my work etc
I am planning to leave my role due to this incident as I feel I've been dealt with very unfairly with one persons word believed against mine. Maybe I should sign the document for a quiet life but I don't know how long it will take me to find a new job.
Thanks
