AIBU to think this is quite cheeky for a manager to ask and ask in your help to write a piss off response?

So, me again! - about the same bloody thing! well similar,

ill try to keep this short and sweet, so today i received a response requesting a meeting with my boss, the HR Manager and the Health and Safety Manager, asking to be filled in on the response from my appointment with the Neurologist i am seeing next week! (for my epilepsy)

I have no idea why three of them have to attend. Well... The HR manager is attending on behalf of the HR director, who is the biggest knob head know to man, and tbh i think he is being made to go to make sure my boss is 'doing things right' - if that makes any sense?

Am i right in thinking thats rather cheeky or am i being overly sensitive?

also, please could you help me with a thanks, but no thanks response? telling her that is not necessary and she shouldn't be asking.

I could understand her needing to be constantly informed if it was a more serious illness/disability, however my epilepsy hasn't changed in the entire time i have had it.

AARRGHGH!

Ha ha ha - acting suggestions - brilliant!

Wow Kate that is not what an Occupational Health assessment is supposed to be.

I'd definitely ask for a proper one, as the company are so at sea in understanding appropriate behaviour, that it would be worth doing - and really help you.

Also check out whether they have to do this - I'm not sure but think there may be mileage in this

In our place we all had to be aware that a work mate has epilepsy, we were given a seminar but not told who it concerned (though work mate told us). Three of us were trained what to do incase of the work mate has a fit. Luckily this person has about 5 mins prior notice so a bosses office has been designated as a safe space where there are blankets, pillows ect in a filing draw and it's private. She keeps bosses informed if there is any change in condition, medication ect.

That's handy purple that she has notice & can tell someone! And that's the kind of thing I expected, when they first suspended me, but this is way too far!

Just on my way to work now actually! Thank god I have the next three days off!

You can refuse.

I'm a HR Manager and as long as you've had the risk assessment done and you aren't fitting all the time and therefore a risk if for example you're working in a factory for example then why do they need it?

This is appalling.

I can't believe you have to deal with all of this. Surely this counts as discrimination.

I know, I am going to speak to ACAS tomorrow, have tried to get in with a solicitor, but no luck before Friday!

Ive been constantly looking for anything else, no interviews this year! I don't know what I'm doing wrong - but with any hope a bit of luck will come my way - you know what they say Positive thoughts, ect!

Hello how did it go?

I remember your last thread and when you phoned Epilesy Action.
And I think they may not have given you the best advice, although probably true in that it's not illegal, I feel it's made you accept lots of other stuff too!

just because one thing is not illegal, does not mean to say you have to accept behaviours and attitudes that are unpleasant, invade your privacy and basically act like ignorant idiots...

I'd have assumed you would have joined a union when the alarm nonsense started.
