Hi guys,
First of all, thank you for all your help and advice and for taking the time to read my long winded posts.
Just a wee update,
Thats me been off my on call for 2 weeks now , so i have had plenty of rest and the you would not believe the change in how i feel,my bloods have settled down ,i dont feel ill anymore , my stomach problems are starting to clear up too ,thanks to eating the right things at the right time.Its amazing the difference 2 weeks can make.,
I have good news on the job front too, i bumped into an old boss yesterday and within 5 minutes have secured myself another job starting in May, its with a removal company with whom i worked for for 8 years and left on good terms ,so plenty of exercise at work again can only be a good thing.
The only problems now is waiting,I will not go back to working all day and night for my current employer ,my health is more important , but i know when i tell him this he will send me home sick , which i cant afford, so my plan is to tell him i am available for all duties now, however I will not break the law , therefore i will not work a minute more than 11 hours a day, and he cant force me too, so i will make the suggestion to him just to pay me off at the end of April ,leaving my free to start my new job in May...fingers crossed.
I also have to deal with the wksp manager in the meantime,all week he has been making remarks to me , telling me i am creating nothing but problems at work due to me being ill,calling me f*****g useless and blaming me for just about everything else,i have recorded 3 instances of this on my fone,he cant help himself so this has been easy,and i am am going to raise a formal grievance about this to the director on Monday.
I feel bad that the other guys i work with are being left to do the work but it is not my fault, my work dont or wont provide the staff to cover,it is not a small company , they employ over 150 staff,but have not arranged any cover , leaving 1 man to do on call all week himself and he is struggling now too.
My work obviously dont accept diabetes as an illness, or they dont care,so , when i go in on monday i want to go in prepared so could anyone direct me to useful information about this so i can print out and give to my employer on monday?
Thanks again
Colin
