I work in a physical job-we don't sit down all shift
I trapped a nerve in my hip a few weeks ago and the pain was nothing like I've ever felt before (it's because they think nothing of sending me up and down stairs-i can do 100 trips up and down an hour on a steady day)
It was off the scale-childbirth was a breeze compared to this pain-painkillers didn't touch the sides
I was off work for 5 weeks and only went back when I did because I cant afford to live on sick pay
I handed in a note from my doctor,saying I cant do x/y/z,but will need to sit down for a few minutes when I need to and they are trying to ignore it (telling me to 'just do x/y/z' and refusing to allow me to sit down) and you can tell they think i was skiving when I was off
I'm not known as a piss taker (the real piss takers seem to have them dancing to their tune and get away with everything and do nothing) and am known for working hard
I couldn't walk last night,I was clinging between a sink and a wall at one point and the sneering from the main manager was obvious
'Oh for goodness sake della,you need to take this order to table 7,another to the pull forward and another upstairs,we have nobody else to do it!'
What part of 'i cannot fucking move' do you not understand? (Part of my fit note is 'cannot go up and down stairs')
I said to dp the other day that I should just make a show of myself by sitting in the corner,crying all shift and shouting about my mental health like the pisstakers do-a few shifts of that and they'd back off and allow me to get away with doing nothing
Oh,and we have an ants nest in the building
All my fault apparently as I was the one who noticed it
She reacted like I'd personally planted ants next to the sugars just to spite her
