[QUOTE="Stevie_D_1983, post: 1076314, member: 274766"] I think people are misconstrued in my situation, and coming up with the assumption that I'm unwilling to work or as you say looking for a get out of jail free card. I can assure you that this is NOT the case. And actually quite offended that some people think that people would use their conditions like that, as an excuse to claim a 'Free Pass'. I have simply signed up to this forum for help and advice, not to have people assume I'm here taking the P - whether it's meant as constructive or not it isn't helpful. I too am a manager within my employment and I too have helped numerous employees in their returns to work from a wide range of illnesses and issues. My personal concern that I was raising was how the employer can treat one employee different to the next when there are policies and procedures in place by law to safeguard against stereotyping, victimisation, and equality? I have worked since I was 13 and have never not wanted to work. In the chilled environment which I work, my employers could have put me in a warmer environment (which we also have) and have chosen time and time again not to-that is not making reasonable adjustments. I respect your response, just don't agree with it. [/QUOTE]
