Work have pulled a fast one here.....

Re: Work have pulled a fast one here.....

Thank you everyone.... I will make an appt. to see my GP tomorrow Jane. I think I'll also ask him if he'll consider signing me off a week before the op. or something. I don't have my normal energy levels for fighting at the moment.....

I'll let you know what he says..... and the union as well; when they get back to me.

I know you are a savvy lady but please get this lodged with your GP - your workplace is being very stupid if they are not taking work related stress claims seriously, not to mention the harm they are doing to your health!

Re: Work have pulled a fast one here.....

Think I would be seeking advice now. Your employer seems to be doing nothing. They need it pointing out to them that Work Related Stress falls under Health and Safety legislation.

Thanks Oscar. I emailed my union last night but spent so long faffing around with the wording, I think I was logged out, so will send it again this morning. I've also been on the HSE site and had a nosey...

I was hoping to just plod on before going for my op. because once I'm off sick after that, I won't know what they're up to anymore.... although I do have several spies in the camp, so to speak.

Off work again today. Had a migraine last night and threw up twice. I'm sure the stress of the place is killing me slowly.... and my boss and his sidekick seem to be doing nothing to make things better for anyone.

I'm trying so hard to hold back because I'm due to go into hospital next month and will need to take months off to recover anyway.... but it's getting difficult. I've never had so much time off in such a short period...

Exhausted and hate my job right now....

When I done a SAR, it confirmed it wasnt kept confidential (and several people were openly discussing it) and they were "extreme concerns at the level of legal advice I had under taken" Think they just gambled I couldnt take it forward!

Just the sort I like to deal with Oscar they are usually the ones who "know it all" and slip up big style

Thanks Jane

I feel for you Oscar.... it's not nice, is it?

Mine was more sly, decietful, underhanded, machivellian, non confidential, and probably breached employment law.

Sound like mice compared to the shower I dealt with three years ago!

You obviously have it in hand got to say your employers do sound a nightmare!

Re: Work have pulled a fast one here.....

If you are suffering from worked based stress I would go to the GP and start getting it documented HR just like DCA's paper trails all important if ever it comes to anything. I would also be dropping them a line outlining why you feel your sickness is work based..... always a good one to see a department run

Thanks Jane.... I sent an email just before going off sick documenting everything and asking questions; knowing damn well that he wouldn't want anything sent to him in writing. Got no response other than the standard "wish you better" one that he was obliged to send. Went back to work Monday and got ignored, which I found slightly amusing..... Later on though, he had to speak to me about something work-based and was very uncomfortable doing it.....

Found out during our minuscule lunch break of half an hour..... that several of us emailed him at once and one bloke quoted union regs. at him, so things have suddenly started to get a lot better. Seems I wasn't not on my own with this after all and most of us are exhausted....

I'll leave it a while and then home in with something else that's bothering everyone and hopefully, that'll be it for a while.

Thanks for your advice Jane.... it's much appreciated x
