Can I be fired for almost getting into a fight?

Hi, I work for a company and I organised an event for 25 winners at a racecourse on Saturday - there was a free bar and towards the end and for reasons unknown to me I ended up trying to pick a fight with no less than 3 individuals. I had taken every precaution throughout the event not to get too drunk and by having a glass of water between almost every alcoholic drink but at the end a lot of people were doing shots and I got carried away. I feel extremely low as this incident doesnt truly reflect my character and I can’t believe it happened - and somehow after everyone had got off the coach and when all this was happening I managed to get myself arrested for breach of the peace infront of 15 out of the 25 winners - I wasn’t charged and was let out later once I coolled down - do you know if I could get sacked for this, bearing in mind not a single puch was thrown?

Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Answer #1

Yes, you can, but if your employer knows you to be an upstanding employee aside from this one incident, he/she may choose leniency.

Answer #2

yes of course you can. I really dont have any advice I mean im a youngin but you just need to try to control your temper, think before your actions and just do what you know is right. dont drink even though you know you shudnt, and just because everybody else it and havin fun. you have to take precautions. it cant be what you want all the time, it has to be wuts right…
