So, he had some block of nasty pictures and he tried to email them to you but instead you forwarded the email to your boss and instead of that guy getting in trouble, you did? Is that the jist of it?
-
he held the porno cd by the edge as to not get his finger prints on it.
if i had take the CD he may have reported me.
not having his finger prints on it is very hard to proved, but i can see what he was trying to do.
HELP: if anybody know anyone or direct telephone number for newspaper please post here or pm me.

im also going on radio,i will tell you all when i go live.

So this is it ??
Without knowing any beforehand story (coworker has tried something simmilar on someone else, coworker is making your live hard all the time, tries to get you out of the company since months) I would have suggested you go and see a doctor as well......

@Lemmink
porn is not allowed on site,you can be sack on the spot for it.
-
If his hands were in physical contact with the CD case then there may be DNA evidence
-
@rob
If his hands were in physical contact with the CD case then there may be DNA evidence
i dont think the police will go that far for such a low thing. finger prints ( maybe ) dna i dont think so.
-
I wonder if they would have checked fingerprints anyway. In any case, even if the guy wasn't trying to get you fired, reporting the incident shouldn't get you suspended. Maybe they company wanted you out anyway, like how that one kid on here got fired from a UK macdonalds.
-
If they were to think it serious enough to take finger prints then the same would surely go for DNA.
-
i do belive finger print can be done locally. dna has to go to a lab & cost lots of money & time.
-
If what he has done is considered a criminal offence then money shouldn't come into it.
Has the content of the CD been checked, it may contain indecent images for all we know.

Hopefully you get a good lawyer will your case in court. :rtfm:

@rob
i did not touch the cd as i did not want to get my finger prints on it.
he told me its a porno disc & i could see naked bodys pictures on the disc.
-
So is the disc in his possession or is it with the boss now.
-
Raise hell, man. Raise it like no-one did before.
If I were you, they would be swamped in reporters by tomorrow morning.
-
@rob
So is the disc in his possession or is it with the boss now.
he has the disc. but when it happened i report it about 3 to 4 hours later.
i was thinking why he would do such a think it just played on my mind.
then i decided to report it.
-
If I were you, they would be swamped in reporters by tomorrow morning.
thats just what i want and all the s*** is going to come out.
-
I'll examine the disc for you :lol: hope it works out for you though...
-
All this nonsense just for a bit of nudity. What sort of company fires you on the spot for having porn (if its illegal stuff its different of course)? I understand the injustice here is an unfair dismissal (from the reports we have). Anyone who finds regular porn offensive should think a bit about how they got here (IMO).
-
@ HenryCase
you are wrong. some companys have policys in place to stop this kind of behaviour.
-
@ delshay,
I agreee but it's quite natural and I hate thoes who have such over offence to it, his boss shouldn't have fired him till he has the full picture. Someone has lost a job over nothing he got involved with and even if it was him, I don't think that was a fair cause. A suspension would have been more fair.
In the end we are all only human and we all make mistakes.
(1100th post on a porn topic, LOVERLY!).
-
IMHO it sounds like a pretty {bleep} company to work for if they do that.
However, if it were me I would just have said no thanks, its only some porn so to me it's no big deal just something I prefer in the privacy of my room.
Many companies don't like troublemakers though so this may be at the root of it.................

This thread rather belongs in the Coffeehouse general forum.

well... here's another shocker...
when I worked at Netscape in 2001 (yes THE netscape)
I found kiddie porn on the internal newsserver
I reported it to HR.... and was told to "keep a very low profile" by the US manager who was a vietnam veteran... Mr Mike Sutton, unless I'm mistaken, now at AOL.
I guess I should have taken that to court.

@tokyoracer
its likely i will lose my job if i dont do what their say.
iv being doing nothing for last 8 days.
i dont see why should go & see my doctor..what for
what am i going to tell him.

@ delshay
Is the company BT?

@Nitro
i cant answer that question you just have to wait & see if it hits the news.

Find out about the grievance procedure and disciplinary procedures. Play EVERYTHING by the book - that way your behaviour is unimpeachable.
If you do that, then any tribunal (if it goes that far) will be on your side. If you don't, then your case is much weaker.
If that means seeing a doctor, then what is the harm?

@Boot_WB
thats the problem. i was so affected by what he try to do i walk out of work & lock myself away..turn off my mobile phone.
no one could find me for 2 days & the police was call in to help find me.
-
That's not irretrievable. Whilst they may be able to give you a warning of some sort (if they were so inclined) for not ringing in sick, that is unlikely to stand up as a sacking offence.
The best way to protect yourself is to make sure that you follow the grievance procedure from now on, and co-operate with any disciplinary type thing they may put you through.
It sounds like a pretty grim working culture, and I hope it all works out.
Best of luck matey.

Wow...sorry to hear that. I'd go see the doctor if I were you, it's at the company request.
You may have a case for sexual harassment I suppose, have they temporarily suspended the guy who passed you the disc as well?

@ del, Just make something up like your having nightmares or sleeping problems. Aslong as you dont make up a physical illness.

i dont need to make anything up my action speaks for themself.
-
Was it amiga porn?
-
I'm sorry you're in this position but I can't help there's a lot more to this.
However, it is not normal for people to be uncontactable for 2 days. So, the company requesting you to have a medical check up is not unreasonable.
If you comply, they have no reason to sack you.
If you do not comply, you certainly don't help your position. Think of the situation from their side and put yourself in their place. What would you think?
Also, if you didn't touch the CD, how do you know porn was on it? You only have this other person's word - then you reported him for having porn? Did anyone check him for having the disk? Did they find it and check it?
Contacting all the media won't help if you only present half the facts.
-
So is the disc in his possession or is it with the boss now.
he has the disc. but when it happened i report it about 3 to 4 hours later
Ok if I understand right, the disc was never actually confiscated by your employer?
In which case it's presumably now your word against his, unless witnesses were present.
It does seem strange they should take this action, even though nothing actually exchanged hands.
I'm just guessing you both have been temporarily suspended pending your allegation being properly investigated
and any other underlining issues between you and your colleague.
-
If you don't play it by the book, then it's just not going to be good.
Go to the doctor, otherwise you are giving them a reason to suspect you.
I have no idea what this media thing you are trying to do is all about. It's sounds really nutty. You disappeared for two days without telling work (was this before you were suspended?) so it looks really bad for you. So if you wish to keep your job, then go to the doctor, and explain the situation to him, in a non-hysterical manner.
If you've already been fired, then talk to a solicitor instead. Being fired without previous warnings for reporting such behaviour within the company and workplace bullying should be appealing to any solicitor in that field.
But number one - play it legally and by the book. Don't give them cause to find solid evidence justifying their actions against you.
You're an idiot if you play hardball and refuse to go to the doctor or do anything they request. On the other hand you should talk to HR and your union representative (if applicable) about this as well.
-
I don't understand why you need a medical checkup?
Do they think you have a porn *problem* or something?
:-?

No it probably because he went missing for 2 days. I'm with Hattig on this go see the doctor, what your doing now will only make your life harder and any court case that you may have (going to newspapers, radio. etc etc).
Also i feel you may have overreacted here a bit (and if you were justified you should have gone straight away to your boss instead of waiting 3 hrs), should have waited till the guy tried it again and setup some sort of trap to catch him in the act (ie webcam or mic or something like that).
-

this is for me walking out,their think me doing this is not normal.

im not even going to answer that question,i think posting this speaks for itself.
-
you know when I first read the title of this thread I thought someone was asking for help to distribute pron at his work :lol:
-
@Retro_71
it was a set-up for me.
** if anything he should go see he`s doctor for trying to passing on porn at work **.
-
Hmm, the more I read about it the more I can understand the position of you company. This is not about the porn CD, it`s - from the point of your company - only about your behavior. They want to be sure that you have "just" overreacted a little bit and are not a complete nutcase and they want to have this confirmed by a doctor.
I can understand that this is humiliateing for you, but if you want to keep your job, you should play along.
-
I'm confused as to whats gone on.
As I understand it...
A guy comes up to you at work with a CD and wants to give it to you. He says "Hey heres some porn"
You refuse to take this CD and a few hours later go and report what happened to the boss.
Then you run away from work and go missing for 2 days.
When you are finally found work inform you that you will be suspended unless you provide them with a sick note which is probably to explain why you have been off for 2 days without contacting them.
You decide to phone the BBC and a load of paper.
It sounds a bit extreme to me. You don't even know if there was porn on the disc. He might have been joking and as you didn't take the disc of him and look at it I don't understand why you were so disturbed that you had to lock yourself up for 2 days.
-
I think the original poster should go to the doctor. There is something very wrong about the way he types and replies to postings.
And dont forget perople we are only getting one side of the story here.
If I went AWOL for two days where I work with no contact I would probablt be sacked.
-
I agree, very strange story. Besides,I thought porn was a GOOD thing. Wish people at my work place would dish it out like that. It would probably make me want to go to work more, not less. ;-)
-
This entire post makes no sense. The other guy clearly wasn't trying to get anyone sacked - there are much easier ways than trying to give someone a CD.
Plus there are definite inconsistencies.
he held the porno cd by the edge as to not get his finger prints on it.
if i had take the CD he may have reported me.
OK, so the CD never changed hands.
i did not touch the cd as i did not want to get my finger prints on it.
he told me its a porno disc & i could see naked bodys pictures on the disc.
But you know what's on it?
Sorry, this is nonsense. Either:
a) You can somehow read CDs without touching them and putting them in the CD drive. Not terribly plausible.
b) You saw the CD contents because someone else fired it up in their computer. Not likely because in that case that person would be liable for firing, not you. Certainly the person who tried to give it to you wouldn't because of the risk involved. Or
c) The CD physically had naked bodies printed on the disc. Also not likely because then the person allegedly trying to get you fired would be majorly at risk. If you're trying to be surreptitious you don't label everything.
And what's all this nonsense about fingerprints? That's no evidence. In a place of work, all sorts of people touch things, doesn't mean anything. If you touch a CD of snuff kiddie porn it doesn't make you guilty of possession.
If someone was trying to get you fired in that way it'd be much simpler to stick the CD in your drive and then tell your boss. If you want to get someone in trouble, you don't first explain to your victim what you're doing.
Sounds to me more like all that happened was that someone knew you were a little... volatile, and decided to wind you up by getting a CD-R, and trying to give it to you saying it was porn. They probably even printed out a risqué label for full effect. I'd say that the fact that you went AWOL for two days and tried to call every newspaper (even the Economist??) probably explains why he did it.
Seriously, it's not healthy behaviour to disappear for two days because someone gave you a CD saying it has porn on. Even if they were trying to get you sacked, just go to your boss and explain what happened. That's all. But it sounds to me like someone was playing a joke on a vulnerable person (you) and you reacted exactly as they wanted.
My advice is to go see that doctor - if only to keep your employers happy. If you're innocent you have nothing to worry about. If you can, take a holiday. Go somewhere nice away from work and kick back for a while. Get away from stress and worries and chill out.
And most of all relax.

Exactly. So why would he put himself at so much risk by openly having a porn CD in his possession to give to you?

Serioulsly please go and see that doctor. You do sound very unwell

Agree totally with what you said.
BTW OT
Have you read the Malcolm Pryce books ?
-
@spirantho
Exactly. So why would he put himself at so much risk by openly having a porn CD in his possession to give to you?
he knows the rules & thats a question only he can answer.
why bring it to work?
why try to pass it on?
why hold it by the edge?
why me?
what was he trying to gain by doing this?
i can go on but most of you can work it out for yourself.
-
Just because your paranoid, doesnt mean they are not out to get you.
You still have not answered to anyones satisfaction how you know there is porn on the CD.
Incidentally please start using the quote functionality.

@ delshay
I think you are a nutter. Don`t tell me that this place has turned into a forum for weird people to talk rubbish about their personal lives...
WHO WANTS TO KNOW?????
Go away.
And stay away from kids.
Weirdo.
-
@jj
have you not read my early post.
HE TOLD ME ITS A PORNO CD,WHEN HE SHOWED IT TO ME I COUND SEE NAKED BODYS ON THE COVER OF THE CD ITSELF.
I THINK NAKED BODYS IS ENOUGH TO SAY IT A PORNO CD.

This must be a joke of some sort. It just sounds too silly.
Delshay, you might wanna learn to quote other people as well. Makes reading your posts much easier. I don't know who's talking half the time...

Sorry to dive in at this point....but
@Tension...thats bang out of order...nuff said!
@delshay...you really need to talk this out with someone in the real world. Find anyone prepared to listen. Do you have a union rep?, if you not part of a union, there will be one present at your place of work still, they can put you in contact with someone, you employeer has a obligation under your terms and conditions to provide independant representative who can listen to your side of the facts and if you wish report them to your HR/Union etc.
You can seek independant advice from any Citizens Advice Bureau (see the net/phone book).
If you feel you are being placed unduly under any pressure by your employer (at all!) you can see any G.P and ask for a stress related Sickness Note due to this situation to allow you time to gather your thoughts about the situation.
No one has the right to judge you. No one has the right to fire you without a full displinary hearing unless they unrefutible evidence of gross misconduct and from what you describe, this is not the case.
You are not alone.! Take Care :)

Interesting thread...
Delshay, I'm curious to know... where did you lock yourself for 2 days and what did you do to pass the time for those 2 days? Who found you and how?
If a CD which may contain 'naked bodies' can send you into hiding how do you deal with everyday situations like:
-Newsagents that sell magazines and newspapers with naked bodies,
-TV,
-Summer time on the beach,
-Biology class when you were at school
Keep us posted on how you get in with this, hope you get the resolution you want. :-)
:-) :-)
-
@delshay
I think you have played your cards way wrong here, if i were you i would just kindly refuse the interesting cd offer and remind the kind gentleman who wanted to give me that gift. About company policy that does not allow us to take it as well as i dont really have any interest in it. But you went wrong were you went bananas ! 1st ran to supervisor and told him about it "as a supervisor for 70 people my self i would not know what to think if someone came running talking about something like that, it sure would not be positive". What i mean is that leading personell hate people that try to sell others out ! 2nd you ran away from work for 2 days ? Why ??? 3rd you contacted every media known to man :lol: :lol: If your company finds out the last one with out any propper dicussion first you may as well say bye bye as you have broken two rules possibly 3 if they supect you of trying to get ridd of a co worker ....

i was at home and i needed time to think.
the police found me.
dont have a problem with every day life,its the location ( ie work )
at work im payed to do a job,not to look at porno disc.
-
I agree, Delshay's actions do seem somewhat bizzare :-?
Like Adonay said...I also would be a bit stuck for words if someone came to me with that sort of complaint at work...maybe not if it was a female who'd been offered pron by a male (not good), but a guy dobbing in another guy for offering him porn? I think my reaction would be to say "and?" :lol:
PZ.

This reminds me of when I was at school. A mate of mine had Hollywood Strip Poker for the Amiga. It certainly did the rounds getting passed around the playground. Until it got to me and my mum caught me playing it and confiscated it! :boohoo:

I think you are over-reacting a lot now, because we are not agreeing with every thing you've said. You do need to see the Doctor after having gone AWOL for 2 days. It's not a normal reaction at all.

Sorry to say this, but I really do think you are a little vunerable if you think that a) he was defo trying to get you sacked or b) he was just sharing the wealth and you reacted to either of these scenarrios by going AWOL for 2 days to think about it and calm down.
Seriously you need to get a bit of a grip on life mate. I would imagine a lot of people have had people trying to get them sacked or in trouble, and a lot worse on a daily basis and dont go and hide under the bed for 2 says.
Seriously take your employers and everyones elses advies, go see a GP, your far to highly strung
-
Hi delshay,
Sorry to chime in pretty late on this one, but just wanted to share my thoughts.
I have some knowledge of this kind of case, and the common responses from organisations. You really must both get an understanding of your organisation's policies in such matters, and get proper counil in terms of legal, vocational, and health issues.
If you are certain that you are well, and are confident of your interpretation of events, then you could see your regular GP (someone who knows you would be best), and explain the situation to him/her. Have the GP write a detailed letter explaining his/her professional opinion. Make sure the letter is written in front of you, read the letter, and be sure to understand it fully.
I would not recommend that you seek stress leave, unless you feel you need it. Perhaps you do need it, as you seem highly strung at this time. Perhaps stress leave is the most feasible way to cover your two days of being AWOL.
Having an official record of stress related illness can be used against you. You can research this yourself if you are interested, though I am not sure such research would be in your best interest at this time.
I am pretty sure you have not followed procedure up until this point, and this will never work in your favour.
I think you also need to make your point of view fully understood by your supervisors. I really don't mean to be rude, but I think you may have some difficulty communicating with people using English. Your expression is not always very clear.
Also, I agree with previous posters, that someone was probably having a joke at your expense. I guess people wt work would know you as a fairly tense, and conservative type of person. Is that the case? Please understand that I do not intend that comment in a derogatory way, at all.
Good luck. I hope it works out for the best, for all involved.
Oliver
-edit
P.S. On a lighter note, my work also has a very strict porn policy. Anyone can be fired for keeping it to oneself.
-
Just a quick question about the CD.
Was it in a case? If not that would explain why he held it at the edge. You dont want to get the disc dirty or it may not work properly.
As for the events that took place.
Is this CD story a fake story that you are using to cover up what really happened? Is the CD this guys penis? did he lob it out and try to force you to touch it? That would cause me to lock myself away for 2 weeks.

QFT++
Every company I've ever worked for have had policies whereby if you're sick more then a day or so, you need a sick note, no ifs whys buts or maybes.
You refusing to go to said doc will end in only one way: You getting your cards. IE sacked. Why? Breach of company sick leave policy.
@Adonay lo bob! Long time matey! I still owe you a pint, RE your post, you're bang on the money I think.

At school we used to swap porn on floppy disks... There is nothing like a picture of a naked woman in good old lowres HAM-6... I say nothing like it, because It was often difficult to really make out what was going on with so few colours at such a low resolution... one's imagination was vital to the whole sock based operation...
-edit- ah yes... Is that pixel a nipple or a mole... Or maybe a HAM artifact...? :-D

sock based operation ? ok, I can imagine what this is, but it's fairly strange for someone who doesn't speak english natively, what's the connection with socks ?

Pron + a sock = the bleeding obvious! :lol:

I'm pretty sure ham refers to a different part of the anatomy, and I can guess what kind of artefact that would be. Not really to my tastes, but such things do appeal to some.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "ham" is slang for (among other things) a flaccid penis. I don't think that's what bloodline was talking about :lol: Besides, if it fitted in to a single pixel, then I don't think it would be featured in porn. Unless it really was just an artefact...
Ahh well, there goes another thread. Good work lads! ;-)

Hi pixie,
I think everyone here understands that meaning of H.A.M.; we were just being grotty.

Without reading six pages of flotsam and jetsam, why didn't you just stuff the CD into your bag and take it home? If anyone asked about it, deny all knowledge, problem solved and you have something to entertain you when the missus ain't home.

Has anything else happened? Where's the original poster with the followup story?

I can only assume it didn`t make the news then?

I take It that's a 'no' then. Where is Delshay these days anyway? I still want to hear the outcome of this, nearly 3 years later.

Why is this thread alive? Is this some weird dream? Did I miss my medication? I'm going back to bed, when I wake up it'll all be gone.
