Hi
I have been a type 2 diabetic for 30 years, and have been suffering over the last 3 or 4 with Diabetic Retinopathy. This has meant lots of laser treatment, a Vitrectomy, and 2 cataract operations. I was signed off work by my GP this week with a viral illness. My diabetes is under control, but I find I am picking up anything that goes around.
I have just had a telephone call from my line manager notionally asking how I was, but to also inform me that he was having to contact the HR department due to being well over the companies absence policy.
My question is what should I do. When I am at work (as an administration Manager) I am happy, and do my job well. But I am aware that I have been off more than they would like?
