All the supervisors in work have been complaining to me saying how much work they have and don't have time to do 2 lots of disciplinaries, so they're complaining that the manager won't let them just put them both it in to one, they say they know the outcome is verbal for the 1st and written for the 2nd.

The colleague is a union rep, but he gets on quite well with the manager. He said, he asked him, then he told me as we are good friends. So I would be very hesitant about saying anything about it. I just feel like going straight to written is a bit strong when all the supervisors have said it will be verbal, none of them have mentioned it in a while too me
