So I have a couple of options. I can call disability and get 2/3 of my salary for 5 years. Or go for constructive dismissal.
I am bipolar I, plus other issues. I've always functioned until the last year. I was only diagnosed in December after 9 years of good service. No sickness of note.
I hate my job. I went back after sick leave to a verbally promised promotion, it was given to someone else. Announced in a team meeting without my prior knowledge. I was also refused overtime and out of hours call out, basically a third of my salary gone without question.
They have refused to pay my contractual baby bonus. Said I didn't notify them despite email evidence.
They forced me to attend a physical social event (think running around and jumping about) at 32 weeks pregnant, it was a 70 mile journey each way in 30 degree heat. I had a major bleed two days later and was hospitalised and put on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. They contested this and tried to insist my maternity leave started immediately.
I'm now on a phased return after a bad bout of rapid cycling bipolar and have been told 'sort it out yourself'. HR are uninterested, and rude TBH.
I freaked out last week and ended up IP again. I've not disclosed I'm IP again yet but need to make a decision tomorrow as I'm over self cert time.
