work issues

[Sammylou]

Hi, im having trouble at work with my boss, ive had 3 weeks off sick due to my anxiety and side effects of sertraline, believe me they were bad anyway i got a letter on thursday saying i have to attend a disciplinary hearing due to unacceptable level of attendence which has caused my anxiety to rocket, has anyone else had this experience.

Hiya

Did you go to the Dr and get signed off work? If you have a Doctors note then then can't get mad at you about being off sick.

Hi Sammylou - I'm sorry to hear work arent being very sympathetic - I went through this in job I had 4 years ago - I ended up leaving in the end cos I was always in trouble for being absent and I felt my co-workers were p!ssed off with me as a result. But once you have a certificate from your Doctor there is very little they can do and a disciplinary hearing is bang out of order. If you had broken a leg they wouldn't be having a disciplinary hearing now would they?! Let us know how you get on and be sure to stand up for yourself - I know how hard that can be when you are feeling anxious. X
