Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

Today was in a long list of really aggravating situations at work involving my useless manager.

Chose to stay behind 2 hours later to finish some work the team I manage hadn't managed to get done (the workload was too much and they had all grafted hard). Sent a quick message to say I would be late home, next thing I'm in a meeting with my arsehole of a manager being given a warning for sending social messages in work and being told it would have to be reported as misconduct. Had enough and said ok I would just go home then. Next thing he's stood saying well this isn't good I don't think you're pulling your weight.

The work was for our whole team all the rest of which had left 90 mins earlier (which theyre well within their right to do), wouldn't care quite as if he hadn't been sat on top trumps online himself and hadn't took a sick day last Friday to drive South for a monster trucks rally. Company have also brought in a relief manager to assist him (his interpretation is do all his work) as this guy has been bursting into tears saying his staff are bullying him. He also now isn't allowed a phone as apparently phone calls cause him anxiety.

Any advice on what to do ? Don't normally post stuff like this but this is the latest in a long list of situations where I've ended up getting more shit for doing extra work than I would if I sacked it off. Needless to say also he's a raging Keegan mag.

If you have nothing to hide why not show him the work you were doing during the 2 hours.
Sounds an awful place to work mate.

I did the mans an utter clown but unfortunately they can't get rid of him as he's in with unions and plays the mental health card when they've tried before. Quite similar to Big Keith from the office
 
Start building a case against him, records facts which will have to include what you do also and the allegations he is making.
Get witnesses if possible.
Defend yourself with facts, then open up a victimisation case if it’s justified.
I’m assuming his anxiety is spilling out and making this worse.
I’m no expert though, good luck.

There's more to this than the OP is letting on imo.

Is this the parody thread or does someone wanna start one?

Legit isn't the guy is notorious throughout our whole building for being a sad weirdo. I have very little to do with him tbf. He left chool in year 9 because someone called him fat (according to someone who knew him then) and quite often his mum or dad pick him up because he's too tired to drive home. He's like a 13 year old in a mid thirties body
 
Anyone got any experience of this?

There’s a lad in the office who is turning into a problem. Regularly turns up late, complaints about body odour and signs off emails with “sincerely” like a spenk

anyway, today it got worse. He didn’t turn up until 10, didn’t deliver the work I needed and when I checked up on him was watching porn on his phone

reckons he is being victimised and will sue the company

any ideas?

All you can realistically do is make sure you’ve followed your companies disciplinary process to the letter. Also make sure that other employees haven’t been given let-offs for similar infractions in the past.
 
He can be sanctioned for being regularly late. Pisses off the other employees who turn up on time.

Not sure about the email issue like

The use of his phone in compant time will be an issue as well, especially for what he uses it for
