Hi
Just need to get this off my chest.:mad:
I have worked as a manager of a Dental Surgery for the ast 18 years, I have been of sick for the last 8 months with extreem anxiety, panic attacks, agrophobia and depression, though I must say with the help of this site, anti depressants and counselling I am well on the road to recovery, the only other time I have been of ill was 10 years ago for 3 months with the same thing.
My bosses have been insensitive throughout this period only communicating with me by letter, quizzing the staff about conversations they have had with me, sending me for all sorts of medical assessments, which I must say have all been positive about my recovery except one, wanting me to do full time instead of part time on my return.
Last week I was called into work and given a letter, which basically said I was being dismissed on the grounds of incapacity, due to the one anti medical report from a private occupational health specialist employed by them, who wrote that I am currently unfit for work and will remain unfit for the forseeable future, being unable to offer a constitant and reliable service.
I do understand their point of view and if they had been curtious and actually
spoke to me face to face I would have offered my resignation, as I understand it was difficult for them not knowing when i would be back.
I just feel like a useless lump now.
Sorry for going on, but it does help to write things down.
