Hi,
I have name changed for this as it could be quite outing.
I have had an OH appointment today due to long term sickness, the likelihood is that I will be dismissed as I'm unlikely to get better any time soon. That's all fine and I am prepared for that outcome.
However during the meeting the GP brought up time I had off previously when I had a miscarriage, she said that my employer said I claimed my absence was pregnancy related however the fit notes provided just stated feeling unwell.
To me that sounds like they're implying I have made it up and the GPS tone certainly suggests that is what she thought.
I have gone back through my emails to find it, and the fit note clearly states the reason for my absence as a miscarriage. It doesn't have any relevancy to my current absence and I do feel like I'm maybe overreacting a bit but it really has upset me and I was going to email my line manager with copies of the notes. But really is there any point?
It won't change anything I suppose but I am so upset and angry that I've been made to feel this way about a very traumatic event in my life which had no relevancy to the reason for my current absence. Should I say anything or just leave it as like I say the likelihood is that I won't be employed by them for much longer.
