Quick backstory - I'm a housekeeper to a woman who lives on a large private estate. Worked for her for a good while now and we've had some ups and downs. I'm currently looking for a new job because I feel like she's taken over my life.
Current situation - I've been waiting for a hospital appointment since April. Finally got a date for first week of Dec- if the treatment goes ahead at the appointment I may need a few days off work. If not, it'll be one day off then some time off later on for the treatment.
Nancy (not her real name!) is very cross because of the time off and wants me to rearrange it. I said I won't, and she's now saying she's going to withhold any Christmas bonus because I'm "always taking time off" - for context I've had less than three weeks off this entire year, and one of those weeks was after a minor accident where I couldn't drive.
She knows how long I've been waiting for this appointment and the impact the symptoms are having on my life and yet she's still insisting that I change the appointment date. She's also booked deliveries for that date, even though I'm not going to be at the house to receive them.
She has very good private health care and can't seem to understand that with the NHS you don't get to pick and choose your appointments!
I'm just not sure if I'm bu for being annoyed or not!
