Suspension from work - part 2

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. Sad

I just think by putting a . means that they can see easily where they last were by seeing their last colour. Thats what I thought they were doing, sorry to get it wrong clam

Hi Apple

I don't have any advice, but just checking in to give some support. This is a complete mess and I hope you get to the bottom of this and get the outcome you deserve. This is no way to be treated after all your years of service.

Blueskyclouds · 21/04/2012 12:57

You just had an unexpected period msrisoto Grin

msrisotto · 21/04/2012 21:28

Oh I hate it when that happens Grin

2ombie5layer · 21/04/2012 22:32

It was cos you wanted to see where you read to so you could quickly skim the thread looking for your colour which is what I meant originally Grin

Anyway back to the proper meaning of the thread, sorry to hijack Apple

Calamityboo · 22/04/2012 15:04

applecrumbleandcream · 23/04/2012 23:58

No not heard anything and my optimism has all but gone. Full of a cold and not feeling at all well. The stress of this seems to be taking a toll on my health. Sorry for feeling sorry for myself. Life is shit atm!!!

No news is good news, perhaps??!

Look after yourself - go to bed with a hot toddy, have a long lie-in, and hope you'll feel better in the morning.

HavePatience · 24/04/2012 06:41

Oh apple Sad. I really hope they come back to you with some better news soon. I can't believe they are allowed to treat innocent people like this.

Are you still seeing the work counsellor? thinking of you x

Calamityboo · 24/04/2012 07:17

Hi apple, it is awful when you feel poorly as well. I know you mentioned in the other thread that there was more than just this happening or you right now, I really hope that everything settles for you soon. Keep posting, I think under the circumstances you are doing amazingly well!

OddBoots · 24/04/2012 07:27

I'm sure they would have come back to you quickly if they had anything bad to say, keep positive.

Byeckerslike · 24/04/2012 07:30

Hi apple, just caught up on this new thread. So sorry this is happening to you.
I hope it gets resolved quickly, it seems their argument is so thin, and like you said before it must be costing them a fortune to go through this process, its all so odd, and hideously upsetting for you.

Take care, thinking of you :)
