Message: <blockquote data-quote="Diane fluteplayer" data-source="post: 1761991" data-attributes="member: 37310"><p>Hi folks, I too had trouble when I was working in a public service organisation where they should have known better. 1 malign individual complained about my doing a blood test at my desk (not even an injection); personnel backed her and insisted I find an empty meeting room. 1 guy in personnel took the trouble to find out about diabetes and did his best to support me but the rest behaved as if I was using it to be awkward. Staff at my base office and another one nearby were brilliant, so most of the time all was well. I took voluntary redundancy and retired at the first opportunity. Best thing I ever did - though there are still some issues in the village where I live. Sadly it only takes a few unempathic people! Try talking to more sympathetic colleagues and if there is a union, join it and update them as needed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
