Following very closely.
Great advice from Mickeyd

@dolby
Be calm. Be professional and remember not every question/statement deserves a response.
 
its Thursday.. sorry if I am late but good luck to you Dolby..... holding thumbs for you...
 
It didn't go well ; as mentioned, SEESA isn't quite fair - but :

1) GM apologied she could not make it
2) The new HR lady - GMs best friend - was a witness the this appeal
3) The original witness that I requested, but was now 'representing the company' [SEESA did make a note that she was the witness initially and I was unaware till I stepped in'
4) That witness lied about certain instances outright
6) She did, however, mention I did not swear AT the GM but rather AT the situation
7) I pointed out the incorrect charge if that was a case (insubordination vs insolence), but SEEMA said they can be similar (wtf?) but it wasn't a charge anyhow.

He said he'll get back to us within 48 hours. I brought up my options going forward and he said CCMA is one, but not recommended. I guess all I can do is wait

Also said an instruction if an instruction, whether she put mail and it was verbal - it stands? Not at all what I've read, even factual cases from CCMA say the charge must be exact

Sounds like the unstable GM excused herself for fear of losing it at the session. Probably got legal advise or the company advised her so. You're being screwed here.

so was it a hearing not a meeting?
 
It's not unexpected but it makes me pretty angry that this kind of stuff happens so frequently.

Sadly yes... and if he takes the matter to the CCMA, they will also screw him there.

What he needs to do is find another job, and then name and shame the company concerned.

Indeed, I hear you. That's what happened to my wife last year. They know all the loopholes in the labour act, and how to wangle around the CCMA and get off with not even a slap on the wrist.
 
If you are speaking the full truth, then this seems very fishy. Did you sleep with her sister or something? Because she clearly has a vendetta against you, as others have said.
 
It all revolves around the instruction... as I believe that the swearing bit was not on this meeting's agenda.

Were you made aware of the meeting?
Were you made aware that you had to prepare a presentation for the meeting?

Is all.
 
I'll be the turd in the drinking water here...

All this drama about a warning letter? Should have just signed it and got on with life :o
