Did you go in with a witness or a rep. If not then you could put a grievance in but ultimately it will be your word against theirs.

If you did take a witness/rep in then with a witness they have to be more professional.

Next time you have your HYS - remember this incident and do what the form says.

I often wonder why DOM's work for RM, surely they would make more money as a consultant for BUPA, what with their extensive medical experience. My GP recently returned from spending a year in Cambodia where he was volunteering, maybe this explains why DOM's don't work Saturdays, they are providing free medical care for the poor.

Our dim is so anally retentive that he'd certainly excel in the field of proctology... :hmmmm

You went for an interview with your DOM while you were off sick!!!
I feel that because of the nature of my sickness it is best to talk to someone medically qualified with regards as to how I go forward with it.

“….could you please provide the number of frontline managers in delivery and processing within Royal Mail Letters who have had medical training to a level that they can ascertain the health of an employee and give advice as to what work the employee can safely do within the business group as apposed to a doctors certificate.”

I can confirm that we do not hold information of the description specified in your request. Employee health services are managed by an external provider on behalf of Royal Mail.

I'm sorry that we can not be more helpful but the information you have requested is not held.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
