With work related stress, struggling with severe anxiety, and high blood pressure.

AIBU thinking that I should have welfare checks, been off for three weeks so far, nit heard a thing?

This makes me feel as though as they don’t care and don’t want me back?

Am I right to think they should contact me?

What was agreed when you gave them your fit note?
I always agree the level of contact with anyone in my team who is off sick.

The last time I had a team member signed off with anxiety, I agreed a once a week check in as more than that was unlikely to help!

When I was signed off last year I had no contact at all with my employer once I'd sent in my fit note; I wasn't particularly bothered though as I a complete break was what I needed.

I thought I'd read somewhere that they shouldn't contact you if you're signed off, but I must have imagined that.
