Hello,
I received a show cause letter recently in which it is mentioned that I violated code of conduct on following count:
1) Failure to add logs on the same day
It is mentioned in our code of conduct manual that logs should be entered on the same day. However due to extremely high amount of work recently, it was not possible for me to add logs on the same day. And it is not just me, quite a few of us faced the same problem. However this show cause has only been issued to me and to no one else even though they entered logs as late as I did.
Technically speaking, I did violate code of conduct but because of high workload. This is shown as highly counterproductive to business and blown out of proportion and I am potentially facing termination here. And I think it's not because of the above cause but because I raised concerns with the handling of work by current management. I am absolutely certain that I will not get any resolution internally, I have tried highlighting this to senior management as well, so it will be a legal route that I'll have to take.
My question is:
1) Do I have any legal advantage if I can prove management is biased against me because they issued show cause to me but not to others even? Would a court even consider this argument considering that I did violate code of conduct?
