I admitted to the performance stuff and stated that I wanted a managed outcome, with proper timescales and targets.But when it came to the bullshit stuff I politely pulled no punches.
For instance, I was accused of 'booking holidays at the last minute'. The published rules state that for leave of a day or two you need to give at least two days notice. My manager pulled me up for coming in to work this Monday and asking for this Friday off. She actually gave that as an example. I pointed out that that is three/ four days rather than two. Also pointed out further flaws with the whole holiday thing.
Had an amusing moment where I said I've never had flex removal confirmed in writing. She triumphantly procalimed 'Yes you have! Right here!', and pointed at the transcripts. I pointed out that it actually states 'asked to work 9 to 5' which is not the same as flex removal and that it needs to be confirmed in writing.
I have further tricks up my sleeve with that one.
I deserve a pint.

I did the best I could.I may have an interview in September for a law thing. I'm toying with telling them about how I approached my defence and the arguments I used. Then again, opening an interview with 'during a disciplinary I was subjected to...' may not be the best chat up line.

No not really.Maybe bring it up later in the interview or second interview.
