am about to request some flexi and I sure hope HR ia aware of this one.

I wish they had a legal ban on discrimination here too. They have NOTHING.

and did you see the BBC comments page? So many poeple whining that it wasn't fair if someone took time off to care for a disabled relative and had special 'privilages'. Saying carers should get their priorities straights.
Bastards.

oh good. stupid twunts need - if they feel hard done by they should take it up with employers, not attack those with caring responsibilities. divide and rule just plays into the hands of unsympathetic employerrs.
