    Eurostar and a Shemale

    Hi all

    I was employed to work as a contractor at Eurostar and also and Indian company called Patni Computers, Huntress employment agency got me the post and an umbrella company JSA pays my wages.

    This began December 06. Also 18 months (3 monthly renewal of contract) of loyal service yet Eurostar has decided that they no longer want me there, this is from my agent at Huntress for Gross Misconduct. I received a text message from my manager for Patni computers on 13th June 08, stating not to go to work Saturday or Sunday, I should speak to my agent.

    The reason all this came about is because I was sending texts to a female/male member of staff (she looks female, yet she has a penis). She reported me on 13th/14th May 08 to her Line Manager who reported it to Patni Manager, I was told by my manager on 16th May 08. The verbal agreement was that as long I do not send anymore texts I can still keep my job. But during that time I was shun by some female and male colleauges of hers, one of them called me a Punk, the next day she apologised, because I reported her. On the 6th June 08. I saw this Shemale speaking to a Community Police Officer earlier in the day, yet at 4pm he states that he her that I have been sending her texts and if I continue the Police will get involved. I informed my Manager about this, but he was more concerned that another member of Eurostar has reported me for having this shemale picture on a PC, this was reported to his Manager at Eurostar.

    I personally cannot understand why sending texts to a female/male employee was cause so much aggroviation. My agent informs me that since Patni has accepted termination and I still don't what type of Gross Misconduct I have done and also she send my Manager at Patni an email which sounds pretty bad so I've been told, yet my agent is reluctant to send me a copy, because of legal reasons.

    Anyway thats all I know for now, hopefully I will get more information tomorrow.

      Looks like you made a few errors of judgement there. If it was me, I'd move on quietly and try to make fewer ripples in future trying to fight on the issue, even if you consider it unfair, is only going to air the grievances and give you unwanted publicity.

                Eurostar and a Shemale

                So you all thing this is a wind-up, possibly because I cannot prove it, but what I know about her, our conversations, we exchanging numbers. The most important fact is her name. Since starting last year, all Eurostar staff know her by 2 names, yet her real name, no one knows, but you can access on the Eurostar Intranet Site. Imagine, that what I am saying is true and that all the Men and some Women would feel very differently towards their colleagues. Remember Eurostar knows what she is and she has to constantly lie, which I have caught her out on numerous occassions. So for me not to tell anyone at Eurostar what I believe she is, get rid of me. Ofcourse She must of lied about me and Eurostar by law have to act when they feel an employee is being victimised, which ofcourse is not the case.

                  think
                  of course
                  must have lied

                  Anyway - keep it up. This is almost as entertaining as wilmslow

                    Ern.. assuming this is all genuine... her/his sexuality and/or name changes are none of your business. You are a contractor, you should NOT be getting involved personally and meddling with the employees of your client. Apart from it being rude, it is a very risky thing to do, since any advances of a sexual or romantic nature could be construed as sexual harrassment, as you have found. This is against employment law and you could find yourself in court.

                    My advice to you (if you are genuine) is to accept that you have effed up, to leave this company quickly and quietly, and never bother that poor person again.
