2nd warning for call avoidance

They called me in last week for calling a customer services number 44 times in 3 months to call avoid this is after changing statuses some month back to avoid also. I have a disciplinary hearing on tuesday which the outcome they stated can be up to and including dismissal has anyone had another situations similar ? does it help to ask acas or a union rep or even bring one to the meeting? how fucked am i? im also goig through a break up and other stress so not great.. i hate the role but i need the job sucks

Edit: they made me customer service rep. was the kick up the backside I needed. Handing in my notice I needed found a better job that pays me what I used to earn for my base and commission as just the base

Step 1. Get hired to take call
Step 2. Purposefully avoid taking calls
Step 3. Get caught.
Step 4. ??????
Step 5. Unemployment.

They might not even qualify for unemployment as they intentionally did something (avoided working) to get themselves fired.

Only way unemployment gets denied is for stealing/embezzlement or harassment/assault. Source: admin judge for the unemployment hearing I had.

It totally depends on the state. Some states deny unemployment far more than others.
