Morning all,
I really at a point where I dont know where to turn. I have been having really problems at work. This year has been very up and down. In February, my finance got rushed into hospital in Glasgow when he was away on business and so had to take some emergency time off work to go and see him. We finally got him transfered to the local hospital. but he was in and out of hospital for 4-5 weeks and so tried to be in work when possible, even though I was constantly concerned as they thought it might be pancreatic cancer. Luckily it turned out not to be. He actually is suffering fom Acute Pancreatitis, which is treatable with medication for the rest of his life. We still do not know what caused it.
Safe to say it did affect my performance in work. However in June, I discovered I was pregnant which is of course brilliant news, but of course it was a shock, within 2-3 weeks of finding out, my employers put me on performance review as my job is very target driven. I really felt the pressure. I unfortunatly missed my target by 2 and had sit down with my line manager who's words were "we have to carry on down this track and the outcome is not going to be a nice one and I dont want to do that when you are going to be 8 months pregnant" To me that screamed she was going to sack me at a time when I need to be in a secure position.
Anyway the stress has become to much to the point I am crying at everything, I went to the doctors and was in such a state, I could not even tell him what was wrong, my partner had to do that for me. He signed me off for 2 weeks, to try and elivate the pressure. This was all going fine, but every time I think of returning to work, I burst into tears again.
If all this was not bad enough, I am meant to be paid today and they have not transfered any money into my account. I really feel like they are trying to drive me over the edge and really confused about what my rights are.
Any help, advice or just a chat would be greatfully received.
