Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robynoksana" data-source="post: 1266522" data-attributes="member: 268973">It sucks doesn't it Sweetheart66! I work in a solicitors firm as a litigation executive and an email was sent around not long ago about time off for appointments to the effect of "do not ask for unpaid leave. The answer is NO. Do not ask to take an hour out and make up the time, the answer is NO." And so on and so forth. Needless to say, it put the fear of God into me because as I say, taking time off for the DAFNE course has left me with half a day's holiday left. Thankfully, I put it out there to my manager today because I know for a fact I need to attend a follow up appointment from DAFNE in 6 weeks, and I'm due my next round of blood tests in December and she said she'll speak to the managing director about it and see what she can do given the circumstances. Have you tried talking to someone high up and just being frank about it?x</blockquote>
