I’ve agreed to meet but I’m getting very anxious thinking about it.
I’ve been off for about 6 weeks and I’m really not doing well. Bursting into tears quite regularly and just generally feeling extremely low and anxious, not sleeping great and so on.
My boss has been calling me at home every other week just to tell me it’s really important to stay in touch. If I don’t answer he leaves a message but also calls back several times that day leaving a message each time and it makes me even more anxious. He keeps telling me I need to get my fit note in to HR as soon as the last one expires or my sick pay could be at risk but I told him I don’t get a new one until the date the last one expires, so that’s impossible. He knows I’m receiving treatment.
So, he has asked to meet for coffee to “touch base and see how I’m doing” and I’ve agrred to do this but I’m wondering what it will achieve? Is it standard procedure? We’ve not arranged this meeting yet but he’s suggested next week. I don’t want to talk about it with him
