Had my meeting today, but all the night before I was sick and didn't get much sleep due to anxiety from the meeting.
The meeting itself was a bit of a joke, I was asked my side of the story to be "fair" but the decision letter was already made and waiting for me to sign it saying I accepted it. The main points they gave were that my "accent" used was culturally insensitive, and insubordination. Both are pretty bullshit, with the insubordination exposing that the person I was on the phone with "explained and instructed me to not speak in an accent or to answer the phone like that because it was against desk procedure", which all she really did was tell me to "not speak to her like that again".
They want to put me on staff probation for the remainder of the semester, where any further lapses in my job performance would result in more penalties.
I am so over this department and the bullshit like this. They even disregarded their own procedures of verbal warning to written warning to administrative actions.
