Im not sure what i am going to do yet so i just need some advice as i have never been signed off before.
i work in a job where i have appointments and if they run into your breaks you dont get to take your full break, or sometimes you get no break at all. i have found this hard and sometiems ended up with headaches and on one evening got home at 6pm and threw up as i was so stressed and tired.
i told my manager this and she told me that it is my responsibilty to take the break which has been scheduled and that i shoudl get quicker with my appointments then they wont run into my breaks! this isnt fair though and often the appointments overrun for reasons behond my control.
Im not sure i can face going back to this place and it is clearly making me ill and i have been stressed around my toddler.
what is the procedure for getting signed off sick with the doctor? woudl i need an appointment and would it be classed as stress? also if i really cant face going back there woudl i need to still work my months notice if i am on sick leave or would i have to go back at some point? i think they are driving me out anyway and everyoen is fed up with the hours there and lack of breaks but no-one has stood up to them. i challenged it and i got my head bitten off. i just want to leave now and get on with my life but I am scared of going back there even in the short term.
