Really seems to cut back on convenient memory relapse on their part when you have proof.

Yes, but what have you learned?
When it comes to bosses who are inconsistent, and you are unsure of the outcome...get it in writing!
Any verbal conversations I have with my Boss I always say at the end, nice and politely.

What does the displinary action do to you?
My hubby's had to sign one before and it was just like a warning. It's companies policies or whatever. When ya work for the man...ya get screwed by the man... I know that this particular company, if you sign a displinary action form three times...then your whole work history gets looked at and you could then lose your job.
If this is your first one in 6to7 years of working there... I know this is hard right now cause I can tell you are really angry right now, but for real, don't worry about it. Worrying only festers... And drinking... That makes things worse when your down and sad and angry already. I know this. I was an alcoholic.. I still struggle with alcohol...but I've reached a point where I know I can control it.
(Sorry if I went off topic at all...)
I'm just tellin you what I think after reading your thread .. It seems like a rant... And I don't know what you're feeling right now, cause I've never been there to be honest. But I can tell you're very angry through your words you post. And I do understand how it feels to be lied to straight to your face when you know the actual truth. It sucks, and it's like a blow to your stomach.
I'm sorry you're hurting and have anger...for real. Even though I don't know you what so ever...you are a member on ATS.. And I have seen your posts before.. It's just my heart goes out to you. I like to say in bad situations...things could always and forever be much worse...
Peace and love to you ~~>> I hope everything works out for you.

Sounds like you might want to start looking for a better place of employment...no one deserves to be treated like that.

You need to contact the corporate HR representative of your location and file a harrassment claim.
If you were written up for something from months ago, then everything in there is in dispute. There is a requirement of timeliness for a corrective action, at least according to "Especially For Texas Employers", the Texas Workforce guide to HR type stuff (not a legal manual, bur rather a guidebook to keeping out of hot water.
If you take any kind of Civil Treatment training, you will also learn that not following up promptly with corrective actions (72 hours max, preferrably within 24 hours) can make you, as a manager, legally and civilly liably for harrasment claims.
In short, you are right. What they did was wrong. Get in their ass.

you should have added SIGNED UNDER DURESS to give you some legal fall back on

It has been my personal experience, after an entire life time of working for large companies, that they like to keep at least one disciplinary action in each employee's file.
It gives them the 'proof' they need in case they should decide to demote or terminate an employee.
Nothing out of the ordinary here; just big business as usual.
Sorry you got slapped in the face so hard. Maybe the continually absent employee figures it doesn't matter whether you're an exceptional employee or not; the rewards are still the same.
You made the right choice; 'lite' beer has the least calories!
(In the end, you still have to live with YOURSELF, so THANK YOU for being a conscientious employee!
