I have a friend who is being told by his employer that he has to see a counsellor due to his behaviour at work.
He has been told these behavioural issues are a (sometime) lack of focus and lack of interaction with his colleagues. There are no issues whatsoever with the quality or quantity of his actual work load.
He has been told by his Line Manager that his job is dependant on attending counselling.
The immediate problem is that he is due to have a minor operation the day before his first counselling session. The hospital have advised him not to drive for 48 hours post surgery. When he explained this to his Line Manager, she replied to his text with this: I don't know what you want me to say, are you telling me that you will not be attending your appointment on thursday? It was stated that it would not be rearranged if not attended again. (was rearranged due to medical condition) Good Luck with your operation.
He feels like he is being intimidated into attending counselling he does not feel he needs.
Can his employer force him to attend, he doesn't want to loose his job but is feeling very stressed and doesn't know what to do.
TIA
