I have two jobs for about six months. I’ve hated the first job for so long but found it so hard to get another job. Another part time job came along and they agreed to drop my hours at the first job.
This year I’ve been finding the first job insufferable. I just go to work and try and do what I need to do, and go home. What else could I do - I need money.
With Covid it made everything worse for me and I told my boss I was struggling, several times. He said to take annual leave or get a sick note.
Now I’m faced with redundancy for the first job and it’s made my mood worse. So my doctor (who I’ve visited a number of times for my work place stress) has given me a months sick note. At least I will get SSP money for a few more weeks and I’m honestly much more prepared for what’s to come.
Doctor told me to tell my second job as she can do a “fit to work” note for the other job. I’m capable of doing the second job and love the job. They have also been so supportive and on yammer I’ve seen them write “if you are struggling please speak up”.
However I’m not yet in probation and worried my boss now hates me and HR think I’m a tool/will sack me :/
AIBU for taking sick leave and telling my second job?
