7th day you need a fit note from the Drs.

Pay - as you've done 12 months service you will now get paid when off sick, unless you breach the conditions of your contract or the Manager acts the arse.

Self referred

My immediate manager is trying his best

But the Dom is possibly out of touch with current legislation etc

Any who,got three counselling sessions lined up and on beta blockers to help manage the symptoms.

Obviously I'm not going to slag the manager off on here

But what he said was unbelievable

Beyond banter

Its rife in our office.

For what it's worth. Although having said that, even they recognise what an appallingly bad employer we work for.

I've seen bullying etc in the army and in other jobs since

But in this company it seems to be endemic

Hopefully its just our office that's this bad
