HR and confientiality

[Iwantmychairback]

Am I being a bit sensitive here?
I am off work for at least two weeks.
I spoke to my boss and told him the reason why.I agreed that he should tell my co worker (S) why I wouldn’t be in , as she would need to do an urgent job for me.

Yesterday, I emailed my Fit Note directly to the HR person. He emailed me back by replying to my original email, but also copying in my boss and S.
Now, I have nothing to hide, and no reason why these two shouldn’t know why I am off work, but if I had told them I was off for one reason, but emailed HR with a sick note which stated another reason, then surely he has breached confidentiality here?

Ulrich’s HR Business Partnering model has been around for over 30 years now. What you describe is very much “old fashioned” HR. More Personnel, actually. Hence seeming “backward” to me.

Ok 🤷🏻‍♀️ I work in a management role in the public sector. I think we do a lot well, a lot could br improved.

Nonetheless, it's how it's done here. I can't really comment on your view that the Irish public sector is 'backward' in this matter.

Not sure I'd be jumping on to tell you that eg the UK system was 'backward', whether I thought it or not.

I didn’t know you were in Ireland when I commented. And it had nothing to do with anything I said. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tit I'd mentioned it in my posts, before you replied the second time. It's fine tho.

My only point is that it's a different system that's all. To explain why it isn't the same as what you are used to.

Not sure why the snippiness tbh.
