A friend of mine has suffered from depression/stress/anxiety for a long time now. It was effecting her at work as the store she was in was very busy - she spoke to management about the issue and they decided to move her to a less busy store so it’s slow pace which has helped her a lot. Her sales are up, she’s recently moved a level up with her training.
Recently they have been pressuring her that they can help her with a Occupational health assessment. She’s willing to take the help, however they are pressuring her to give permission for her health records to be retrieved. It clearly says in the form ‘we may need medical records’, however the manager is being very pushy saying they need it.
she feels like she’s being pushed out of work in a indirect way or they are trying to find ways to get rid of her if she declines help.
where can she go from here?
she’s asked me to put this up for her as she doesn’t have a mumsnet account.
all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
