[QUOTE="Jones, post: 483481, member: 4805"] I think you did the right thing given the situation as you explained it. The fact that they were willing to reduce it to a suspension over the phone tells me that was probably their goal all along, ie, terminate you and then at the local level hearing reduce it to a suspension for time served, so the end result would have been the same. But that's just speculation on my part and I would never encourage another employee to gamble with their job, especially in this economy. If it had gone all the way to panel you would have risked getting used as a bargaining chip in someone else's bad deal and losing your job regardless of the merits of your own case. I'm glad that didn't happen, and at the end of the day this is just an unnecessarily harsh reminder of the type of company that we work for. I'm so glad to be closer to the end of my career than the start of it. [/QUOTE]
