  2. Hello all, I brought my iPhone 13 Pro Max back in 25/11/21 Then a year later , around November 2022, the iPhone had a fault on it, the screen kept getting darker in 2/3 stages or flickering lower. I took it too Apple to check it out, I was only there 5 mins and they turned off auto brightness settings. I reset the phone and restored from iCloud backup. now coz of Covid and things going on, I let the warranty run out, and Carphone warehouse where I purchased the phone, only cover the year like Apple. on the 13th July 2023, I spoke to Apple and explained what was happening and then booked it into Apple on 14 July 2023. I went to Apple, they said their test don’t show the fault, he's heard of the fault, and recommend I reset the phone and set up as new, and don’t restore from iCloud to stop this bug coming onto the phone again. went home, connected to pc, and installed new software, and setup as a new phone. now 4 hours into my day on 15th July , it started again. it did not work. he also said, if you're not happy, you are well in your consumer rights, and I can write a report so you can give to curry’s to maybe refund or new phone. the phone is only a year and 8 months old and still in contract. now guys, can anyone help me on what I do next please. thankyou

  7. I said don’t need hard copy, I will go to office and have face to face meeting. They didn’t say about bringing someone with me, only as email above. I will ask for policy’s if I get sent something, as I bet they have updated them after this situation.
  8. Just a update: I received a email today: Further to our meeting yesterday please find the invitation to a disciplinary meeting as discussed. It is likely the meeting on Thursday next week will be held online by Zoom or WhatsApp unless you would prefer this in the office. We currently have a procedure where only 4 people are in the office at any one time and this would need to be booked in advance. Please acknowledge receipt of the email and please advise if you would like a hardcopy of the letter. The manager explained that they would send a email with all the details, and why I was getting a disciplinary for? I just hope as I not had this, maybe a written warning? Hence : “ would like a hardcopy of the letter” what do you think?
  9. we work for southwestern railway, repairing their stations. we have a big folder with everything in to each station we work on. on the COVID section, it has not been read out on a toolbox talk, and I don’t know if and when it has been updated. Our health and safety, gives it to the Forman to pass onto us. the last one we had was maybe 4th of jan 2021. we heard our health and safety was coming to job, and me and my colleague just filled in blanks with no foreman present. so am sure I have signed this years without anyone explaining. I did tell the manager that today, the office might get emails, but don’t pass it onto us and explain things. They know this happens on site. I will ask for: copy of employers covid testing policy, covid-safe ways of working for your job conduct/ disciplinary policy. But worried they might of changed things. Thankyou Emmzzi so much with helping me.
  10. Thankyou so much Emmzzi, I didn’t really ask for it, but I did think that what you said and agree that got time to change it. Then I hope it would be a verbal warning or a written warning. I am just worried as the company had to get there lawyer involved, and I guess there the ones who are asking for certain questions to piece together. Then they might advise what action the company should take? Also, is possible to be sacked and bypass a verbal and written warning?
