Ozgate.... Time to move on

These are my own thoughts and opinions on recent events in 'MY' life and are not intended to offend anyone, no matter how fragile their ego's

Today 22/02/2014 is the last day of my 12 month 'Final Warning' at work... A final warning that I received for Gross Misconduct under the Company Bullying and Harassment Policy. A punishment which(in my opinion) was both harsh and unmerited.
I believe that I would have been sacked on that day 12 months ago had it not been for the valiant determination of my union representative, sacked merely to set an example and to send a message to all of my colleagues that banter on social media is to be strictly prohibited by the Company.
Despite having a impeccable record for the 11 years that I had been employed by the Company, and I mean impeccable! I had never be disciplined, warned or even so much as told to fasten my tie, I have not had a single day's absence in all of those years.... but this record counts for nothing when an 'example' is required by the Company.
I've been told that the story I published on Facebook was childish and unprofessional, resulting in members of the management team being both offended and outraged. This was emphasised by showing me emails from certain managers stating that they would find it difficult to work with me in a professional capacity in the future.
Even though I thought the whole thing was a farce and a witch hunt I took my punishment on the chin and got on with it. During the kangeroo court I stated that I wanted to apologise to the managers involved face to face so that I could explain my actions man to man however I was advised against this.
In the end I wrote eight personalised letters of apology to which I received only one acknowledgement stating that a chat would be beneficial(a chat I'm still waiting for 12 months later) I heard nothing from the rest of these responsible, mature 'Professionals'
In fact the 'Ozgate' incident has not once been mentioned to me by any member of the management team, well to tell you the truth nothing at all has been mentioned to me by any of the management team because other than 'Good Morning' and 'Good Night'(plausible deniability)  the management team haven't spoken to me, they have ignored me, ignored emails, they have blanked me in front of my colleagues and one has even ran away and hid from me, on more than one occasion..... and I'm supposed to be the immature one.
Nothing in the last year has in anyway shown any indication to me that those managers are now able to work with me or do not hold a grudge against me.
I find this more annoying than worrying, Annoying that I will have to find another social medium on which to publish my childishness to the masses.
So I think that you'll all agree that it's time to file away Ozgate into a deep vault and move on

It is over and I WILL once again regain my childishness.....

 and share it
