I'm being treated for depression, which is good in its own right. I can't face going back to work,I have been signed off for sometime now and I've handed in my notice. My employer saying that I have to work my three months notice period or send in doctors notes.
Work knew that I was being treated for depression five months before I had the most recent "crash".
I know that there are rules and regulations and laws and contracts and all that. But if I was to conduct an act of Gross Misconduct, I would be terminated on the spot and marched out of the building. I'm not asking for work to be sympathetic (or the wages), just to release me from my contract and let me go about getting my life in order. It feels like they are being trivially bloody-minded or that I've sold myself into some form of slavery.
If I was to return to work, I'd spend the vast majority of my time staring at my feet or at a screen and frankly, I don't think I can actually do the job any-more.
