Suspension from work - part 2

[applecrumbleandcream]

Thanks everyone, just catching up. Not feeling too good today. A bit grim. Not feeling strong at all but emotional and very sad. Been to the doctors again and just broke down completely, he wants to sign me off but I told him that I just want to get all this over with. He has wrote me a statement whilst I was there blubbering for me to send to the Investigator to say that I am not currently well enough to complete this work. I even had the doctor crying and saying he despairs that employers are doing this. I told him I have got no confidence in the unison rep. I spoke to him this morning to ask his advice about filling in this statement when it doesn't list my computer and what should I do, he was very sharp said if I don't do as I am asked then it is going to go to a Hearing and then said he was in a meeting and just cut me off!!!

My dad has said he will get me the best lawyer there is and forget about Unison, just wondering what to do about this. Have to go back to doctors again next Thursday. He is compiling a proper medical statement for me.

I'm sorry if none of this makes sense, but I can't think straight at the moment.

Am very very happy at the support being shown to apple, indeed others contributing their experiences, this is what Mumsnet is about!

Hi apple and Bearcat (hope you don't mind being clumped together). Thinking of you both and sending you my hope for light at the end of the tunnel. Remember sometimes (and you are the only ones who can make the decision) the best revenge is no revenge at all. Though imo you are seeking justice.

I am a lurker too. I have no real advice, though it sounds as if the scurrilous evidence they have presented you with should be easy to pick apart with good help! The way they have treated you is disgusting. Definitely get a good solicitor! And keep calm!

Got to fight on Marmite!
Feeling more upbeat tonight after a fantastic Skype call today with an expert.
Can't say too much.
It's not the job anymore, it's the fact that I cannot give up. I have to try and prove the lies that are being told against me, and I believe with the help we are getting, DH's great intellect and me spending my days I should be at work trying to pick this case apart I will have some sort of closure, because I will know that I didn't go down without fighting for my reputation of the last 30 years.

bearcat undoubtedly you've thought of this, but did your employers have a whistle-blowing policy?

Keep on keeping on.

Wishing you both well Apple and Bearcat.

Hi Apple, thinking of you. Please let people know how you are when you are up to it. You must be feeling very isolated. You are not. Many people here bearing you in mind.
Bearcat (apologies for hijacking)did not mean to imply you should give up/walk away. I appreciate your integrity and probably your income are worth fighting for. I think of you. Concerned you are not getting support bar from your husband. CAB? Public concern at work (the "whistleblowers" charity), ACAS? Where's your union?
Sending you both my best wishes for the best outcome possible for you.

Thinking of u

Hi Apple hope you can enjoy the weekend, hope for a resolution soon.

Oh Apple that is terrible. Sounds like the weird stalker colleague may be hiding things

Hi Apple. I've just found this thread after following the first one. I know things must seem pretty bleak right now but stay strong. Your employers and this bitch trog from hell colleague of yours are the ones in the wrong, not you. Get yourself a lawyer and put the shit up them. You have nothing to lose by fighting tooth and nail for your reputation. You can do it!

Still thinking of you. Wishing you all the best x

Hi Apple
that stupid bitch colleague ! I cannot believe someone would act like that - and that a workplace would accecpt such pathetic behaviour as gospel and to use it against you ! I would take a formal personal grievance against her myself.
I had a horrible older lady i worked with years ago who was a bit like that - years later shes still working the same job, still being nasty (according to friends who still work at same place) and is a sad bitter old lady who no one likes or trusts. Karma will bite your colleague on the a$$ ! maybe not now but in the future definitely.
Stay strong Hun XX

Apple are you OK?

Your absence is worrying

I think the last time Apple posted was 3 weeks ago, on 21 May.

I hope things are ok.

Hi Apple, we are all here and thinking of you, do hope your well, well as can be expected under the circumstances. x. Keep strong.

Hope u r ok

Hi Apple, how are you feeling? I really hope you are starting to feel a bit stronger.

Apple just to let you know am thinking of you .

Hi Apple,

Have also been wondering about you and how you are. Are you any further on with this?

Hope you are feeling a little better.

Apple hope you are making good progress with regard to your health and that work stuff is rapidly diminishing. Am thinking and wishing you all the best

I was thinking about you today. Sorry to see there are no positive updates . :(

Hello Apple, hope you're well, do hope this has come to a sane conclusion for you and that perhaps you're enjoying a lovely holiday somewhere!, we've not heard from you in a while. Wishing you the best.

Apple are you back to work yet? Your doc signed you off for a month I think? I hope all is well
