Guest Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm back to work tonight, after 3 weeks off, and I'm DREADING it! The company I work for are not the most sympathetic when it comes to sickness and absence, and given that I have had 3 weeks off, I'm not hoping for the best. The last time I was off, when Duncan had pneumonia, I was givena verbal warning, even though I made up the shifts that I had missed, and I was only off for 2 days. (I should point out that they don't give you the warnings for being off sick - that's against employment laws - they give you the warning for 'Failure to comply with your contract'). I've not slept for the last few nights (hence the late night love declarations ), and am worried sick! so, keep your fingers crossed for me tonight!

Mrs Frugal Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Good luck Shona. Hope they're nice to you. I had a nursing officer like that who used to read me the riot act whenever I was off sick with a migraine (and I had real humdingers too) until I stood up and bit back !

Cate in NZ Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Just quickly adding my "good lucks" to all the others- I hope it all goes well. You've been through quite enough recently to really not need unsympathetic employers giving you a hard time because of genuine sickness. Maybe they'll surprise you and be really understanding and supportive *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hope it went well Shona. Were they nice to you? If not, we'll all be up there en masse to sort them out for you! Eglu Power!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Well, I've still got a job! Till Friday at least! The shop is in the middle of a refit, so the management were all too busy to give me my return to work meeting (company policy states that it should be done before you step on the shop floor - I had mine done 15 minutes before I finished ), and I have to wait until Friday for soemone to decide if having a miscarraige is an acceptable excuse for having 3 weeks off. Blumming nightmare night - was trying to count things while workmen were trying to move them out the way. I'd turn my back for 2 seconds and entire fridges would have disappeared into the distance. Our office has been painted a lovely shade of blue though, just the shade I want for the bathroom, must go out to the warehouse and see if there is any left!

Sheilaz Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 How did it go, Shona? Hope they were all just so pleased to see you that everyone just welcomed you back, and gave you a hug. Well, not necassarily the last bit, unless you have a certain retired footballer working there! Hope it just went smoothly, I've made you a cuppa for when you get back, best wishes, xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Now I look dimmer than usual...synchronised typing Shona! Isn't it weird, I was just thinking about you, exactly when you were typing, hundreds of miles away. We must be related! Yey, I'm your long lost 3rd cousin, once removed!
