Being really prepared to go through point by point is certainly important and it sounds like you have specific rebuttals to some of the complaints. Is there a union or legal aid group that helps workers navigate these? You are in a formal process, you’ll need to treat it with formality at this point I think. Unclear on how it works in your jurisdiction.
It’s obvious that they really expect immaculate log keeping in your job. Unclear if the output of a disciplinary hearing here is termination or a warning and perf management process. But you should seek advice close to the problem if it is available to you, from someone who is NOT management and is expert on this.
