Hi - I am signed off with work related stress - a culmination of different things but finishing with a meeting with my line manager which has greatly upset me.
I don't feel I can return to work due to this meeting - it is clear I have no future with the company. (I don't want to go into reasons but I am a model employee, I have been struggling with 2 young children, return from mat leave and unrealistic expectations from my work)
I'm planning to raise a grievance but my questions are:
- is the time off with stress going to damage my future employment? I'm really worried about this as I've never taken time off.
- I've heard about 'injury to feelings' - is this a valid point based on 1 meeting? It was so out of the blue/ out of character with the nature of our normal relationship but has left me distraught.
Hope that someone can help. This is all so worrying - I can't believe I'm in this situation.
