dismissal appeal hearing

[tommytomtom]

I have lost my job and am appealing againts the decision. What would be an overall good game plan regarding attitude and perspective with a view to getting my job back?
I believe I can contest the grounds on which the decision to dismiss was made, but what approach would you favour, apologetic & remorsefull or indignant & firm?

recovering alchoholic.

hmm
Apologetic and remorseful indicates you were wrong and they were correct to sack you.
Indignant and firm indicated you are self important and aloof, so they were probably right to sack you.
.
I'd leave it and get another job

in a pickle
At the dismissal I was encouraged to appeal which I did, however, prior to the hearing I withdrew from preceedings (my reasoning being simmilar to yours). Subsequently I recieved further correspondance implying I should continue and a hearing is currently being convened.
This is not something I can nonchalantly walk from, it was everything with unrivaled earning potential and as far as my previous condition being used against me, the BMA (2001) classifies alcholism as a medically recognised condition so such action would be discrimination.
I am aware this post reads as sad but obviously can not divulge details.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Hi pickle,
You're right these things are complex and this forum is not where I need to be.
Thank you for time.
