Need some advise. I'm a civil servant and today I was given my first written warning for being on the sick due to my diabetes. Two occasions first one went to work with the flu and my blood was 16 - 19 a manager told me to go home. Had to ring when I got home and went back the next day still not feeling 100% but managed. Next one stressed due to a issue in work. I was stressed with anxiety and depression. I wanted to take an overdose as I was really down. 10am I told a colleague who spoke to management at 10.30 ish. I was spoken to at 4.45 as management had a concern mmmm....... Next day told a manager I was going to the doctors and would I need to come back was told to ring when I came out of doctors. Before I left work the manager at the time sppke to me and said I need to get a sick note and have time off and management could see I was stressed with depression. Sick note I got was for a reactive depression Not specified. I now cannot have 2 days sick in 3 months. Then once the 3 months pass I cannot have sick for 9 months. Going to my union to appeal. I was wondering if any of you guys have problems like this now or ever and what can I do? I'm not a sick person but the last few months catching cold from colleagues due to the air con. Any help or advise would be much appreciated thanks x
