When I was signed off for a fortnight for "work related anxiety and depression" I had a back to work interview udner the guise of seeing if I was okay. What happened then is that they circled the wagons at work and then tried to come up with reasons to fire me for gross misconduct. This included trawling through my blog for the previous year to see if I'd ever mentioned working long hours, which I had. The company then tried to use that to suggest I'd brought the company into disrepute by doing so and it was reason enough to fire me before I could even get through the grievance > tribunal stages. In short, I'll never trust an HR department again or an employer who feigns a sudden interest in my wellbeing. This was ten years ago right now and it still makes my heart race with anxiety and frustration, reading what has happened to Wavey and azurelas. And this is before the country gleefully strips itself of protective legislation like the European Working Time Directive - something that was instrumental in saving my bacon back then. My heart goes out to you. |
