My boss

[Angel786]

Is insecure, has removed my responsibilities, undermined me etc. Has emailed me while I'm on mat leave twice asking work questions. Once I replied, second one vie ignored because I literally hate her. Now a week later she's emailed again asking if I'm feeling better, never told her I was Ill (told someone else). Can I tell her to stop emailing me while I'm on mat leave, as it just pisses me off, or should I ignore her?

She's awful, two faced, super fake. But she wants to be liked by everyone. She knows I don't like her so isvtrying extra hard and it's just annoying me. I just want to be left in peace!

Work related questions of 'how are you' sort of questions?

There are employments laws on contact during maternity or sick leave.

Personally I'd (a) ignore her emails (b) put up and 'out of office' bounceback.

The key phrase (as always) is 'reasonable' contact:

The amount of contact that is reasonable depends on whether the employee prefers to have frequent or minimal contact with you. It is a good idea to discuss how you will keep in touch with your employee before she begins her SML.

She is legally obliged to inform you of any work place developments that may affect you - structure changes, redundancies or promotions you may consider.

If it's general chit-chat then just don't answer the email

I have been off sick for the last 2 weeks. During that time I have had endless emails and phone calls from work. It seems to be the way of the world now.

Thanks trois she's sent both. A few work ones and ten other chit chat emails, none are about redundancy etc other tan one email to say as agreed ( which we hadn't) she would manage the team, which I used to do.

male I didn't used to mind, I'd always answer emails etc when off sick but it's more because I dislike the new boss. And half of her emails are her trying to be buddies after stabbing me in the back... Which just annoys me.

Might send all her emails straight to junk mail...

Or could I 'accidentally ' reply "what a loser?!" instead of commenting to someone else?
