An HMRC trainee has been awarded more than £16,000 in compensation after an employment tribunal found that serious allegations made against her were fabricated.
The trainee, known as Ms X, had been accused of saying she wanted to use her position at HMRC to “kill Russians for killing her family”.
But the tribunal heard that she never made the comments attributed to her.
Instead, the judge found that her line manager had invented the allegations and made false notes about a private meeting with the trainee.
Ms X, originally from Abkhazia in Georgia, speaks English with a Russian accent. She was granted asylum in the UK in 2004 and subsequently became a British citizen.
The case raises questions about the importance of accurate records, proper management procedures and fairness when serious allegations are made in the workplace.
I have to say, I didn't have "kill Russians" on my HMRC bingo card!

I wonder that the 'line manager' is doing now?
ReplyDeleteWhatever office it was, be careful you don't trip on what's been brushed under the carpet and hushed up..
Say nothing, suddenly it's like it never happened.
How many times has that been the
case in HMRC? More than a few.
It's a rotten organisation
Lol. Keep taking those pills 💊 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteHMRC will put the letter on the pile and make them wait twelve months or get fobbed off when trying to speak to someone on the blower.

HMRC is indeed a rotten organisation.
ReplyDeleteWe have a major scandal that will blow your mind, coming soon...
No you don't.
DeleteYou've got history at this.
Your major scandals never arrive.
Not once.
Not one, single, solitary time.
Looks like someone's ungrateful for your hard work in exposing corruption. As an accountant, who started their career at HMRC, me and my colleagues in the office are grateful for this site and enjoy reading your updates - thank you.
Delete@08:05.
DeleteI don't expect a serious reply but this is a serious question: can you give us one example of corruption that he has exposed or, indeed, any detail of any kind in any of his 'updates'?
Or do you think his habit of accusing people who ask him questions of being rapists is 'clever' and 'funny'?
No Shit
ReplyDeleteIf it all goes west, they can always get a sideways move. A good squirt of WD40 on the SCS Revolving Door.
They'll be changing their tune in March when their arses are twitching. "Challenging' 'Lessons learned ' 'More customer focus'.
What do they think is going to happen? A complete shit show from start to finish

I did reply to the nonsense posted on 7 October at 11:49 however the very moderate and polite response was not approved.
ReplyDeleteI find it very disquieting that the individual concerned wants to prevent dissenting voices - people who actually deal with HMRC in the here and now - from being heard. Their goal appears to be to drive down engagement with this blog. What exactly is their agenda?
My post of 7 October was not nonsense. It contained perfectly reasonable and polite questions which you have refused to reply to.
DeleteI am not trying to prevent dissenting voices.
I agree that HMRC is fundamentally shite.
My problem is that this site keeps being hijacked by posters who seriously damage it's credibility.
Do you think that for one second HMRC is quaking in it's boots when it reads utter shite about rape at Xmas parties and the like going back many years and still no detail, no action, no anything.
Your best mate, Exposing the Corrupt, has never given any detail about a single incident regarding HMRC. Perhaps you could ask him when this is likely to change?
And perhaps you could get around to answering my questions of 7 October.
I'm afraid I did give you the time of day and replied to your utter tosh, but it wasn't published.
DeleteI don't believe a word you say. Nobody has mentioned that happened at 'Xmas parties' at any point in time - you are a fantasist!!
I'm not going to entertain you any further. All the best, goodbye.

DeleteYou sound unhinged, sir. Did your HMRC job make you like this? Perhaps your PCS rep can get you help 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤣🤣🤣
Ps. When will *you* tell us all about the christmas parties 😉 😜
@08:24.
DeleteGlad you've managed to shoehorn the PCS into this.
Not like you're obsessive or anything.
@09:21 I was worried about you and wanted to signpost a potential avenue of support.
DeleteDid your HMRC job make you like this? 🤡 🤡
@12:55
DeleteI worked for and escaped the Inland Revenue (now HMRC) while still completely sane. As you rightly identify, not all of my former colleagues were so fortunate...
@12:55.
DeleteNo you weren't.
You never make any meaningful contribution to this site, just humourless keyboard warrior cheap- shots.
Anyway, can you specify which xmas parties you'd like me to tell you about?
@13:23 I've made many 'meaningful' contributions to debates on this site. My contribution on this thread was to call out your deranged reply to another contributor. But, as an empathetic person, when I realised you need help, I simply tried to be of assistance. Thanks for being so ungrateful for my kindness and compassion.
DeleteIn answer to your question, we both know which xmas parties but you clearly won't tell us. Perhaps you can confirm that your HMRC job did make you like this?
@13:23.
DeleteYou're completely sane and yet appear to idolise 'Exposing the Corrupt'.
A man who famously has never exposed any corruption.
Hmmm ......
@20:42.
DeleteYou wouldn't know what kindness and compassion were if they hit you in the face. You are a snide, abusive little creep.
And no I have absolutely no idea which Xmas parties you and your mates are whining on about.
Tell me or just admit you're making it up.
@21:45 and @12:01
DeleteSorry to repeat the above comments, but you do sound unhinged, sir.
There are serious issues at HMRC, please leave the debates to the grown-ups.
There are indeed serious issues within HMRC. Shame that you grown-ups rarely if ever address them.
DeleteYou're happier to claim that everyone who works in HMRC is a communist, anyone who disagrees with you raped someone at a Xmas party somewhere you can't remember, etc, etc.
If you want to see somebody that's unhinged look in the mirror.
@20:42.
ReplyDeletePresumably you filled your post with clown and roll on the floor laughing emojis because you're so kind and compassionate.
You can't even lie convincingly.
