Asked To Resign

by Jules
(W Yorkshire)

I have worked for the company for just over three years . I have always loved my job until six weeks ago we got a new boss, she is under qualified and spends most of her time in the office with the door closed, we have a deputy manager who's been there a number of years who also spends all her time in the office.

Yesterday I was called into the office and the owner of the place was there (I work in a care home). He asked me what I'd been saying to other staff members about the deputy manager. I told him I didn't know what he meant, he said I had told other staff members that the deputy manager had been stealing money from clients. I told him I'd said nothing. He then told me he had seven letters form staff members saying I told them this, I denied it, he then said I could save myself alot of trouble and resign. I refused. I told him I'd done nothing and said nothing. He then said the police were involved. I told him I would be happy to answer any questions the police wish to ask. He then said he'd taken on bigger and better people and won. I asked him if he thought this was a game. He asked me three times throughout the conversation to resign. He told me it wasn't a disciplinary just an informal chat... then he said I was suspended and would be getting a letter to attend a disciplinary. What should I do have you got any advice? Thank you.
