went into work on friday as normal only to be called into the office to see the manager , now me and him have never seen eye to eye he comes up with some feeble excuse that i hit a barrier with my truck as i was leaving a site where i have just done a deliverey and its on cctv . the damage is estimated at 550.00 quid .as it was not reported by me they are classing it as gross misconduct and i got the sack. i have seen the cctv footage and i only touched it lightly and it wobbled cant see no damage . so here i am first time unemployed in my life totally p****d off . have since found out that the company has lost a couple of large contracts so there you go. have got to appeal within 5 days but is it worth it ! sorry to rant on and on but needed to get it off my chest cheers muddytubbie

Sounds like you may have a case for unfair dismissal unless they can prove, uncategorically, that you caused that damage.
