Hi
I have been off work for about 5 weeks now and am due to return in just over a fortnight as that is when my sick note runs out.
However, the situation at work has now reached a stage where it has become untenable and I can't face going back, not even to work out my notice period - too much has happened in the last couple of months and I have lost all faith/trust in my employer.
Basically, I am under investigation for Facebook comments and I have studied them (I have already stated I did not write the comments) and found just a few which might be deemed concerning in the mildest sense. The others are nothing comments.
I have spoken to my T.U. rep and he agreed the comments did not concern him yet work are making such a big deal out of this - we told work they could send any questions they might have through the post but they have only decided now to act on that - TWO MONTHS LATER!! They could have easily made a decision, based on any evidence, well before now.
Then I spoke to OCH today and they were no help - in fact, they seemed more concerned I should go in for a disciplinary meeting, rather than my health. My work also stated I would not lose my job and I got an email saying that now this wasn't necessarily the case - they keep toying with this and I am getting sick and tired of being messed around.
This situation has caused me to have severe anxiety and dented my confidence to such a degree where I am unable to leave the house, except in exceptional circumstances and even then, I feel very uncomfortable and caused me to have suicidal thoughts and to be at my lowest ebb, all over something trivial - even my HR told me the comment which most concerned me was minor - so why are work turning this into something more than need be?
Can I have some advice as the situation at work has now become untenable and I feel I cannot return now - I don't want to get a sick note if I am not sick, should I be well by the stage the sick note runs out, but I see I have no choice.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Rob
