My Mother has recently been sacked for gross misconduct as she called her twenty somrthing supervisor a vindictive *****. Yes I know this is an awful thing to say as dose my Mum. Not that my Mum can really remember this happening as her sugars were over 19 and once she got home over 23.
However the circumstances that caused this are interesting.
firstly My dad died in mid January
then at the end of the company moved an hour to an hour and a half further away from our homes.
then much of my mothers work was outsourced abroard and mucked up so my mothers job became more difficult than it was to do it herself.
Mum came back to work after dad died within a week
Although our employers offered her time off and less hours when dad died as soon as she returned they piled on the pressure , when mum asked if she could reduce her hours due to continual high blood sugar as she was driving when she should be eating. Mum was advised you an go ahalf hour early if your work is done and you make up the hours in your lunch.
the night before the incident as most nights sine the move mum had sugars over 20 her sugars droped to 3 in the morning and then bak to 19 by lunch it was during these high sugars after receiving an email from a 20 something demanding respect as her supervisor that my 60 something mother lost it.
Mum dose suffer from mood swings with her sugarsand has been through a lot this year she also suffers from low blood pressure and has a pacemaker and has hardly a day of work.
After the incident Mum fell apart mising Dad I think however our employers insisted on a disiplinary even though Mum was signed off with depresion and suicidle at times refusing her insulin and food . they refused to put back the date of the disiplinary until Mum was well again . Since being signed off Mum has been in hospital due to sudden passing out and fitting possibly caused by sudden drops in blood pressure she has also been banned from driving.
There have been other incidents at work sine Dads death including an incensitive manager sayin its unfortunate but it is good that now Dad is dead Mum can be used as a mobile member of staff , how charming !!!
Can anyone advise me where to get Mum help she is broke widowed ill and unemployed.
