Re: Stage issued for one absence 69 days brain tumor removed
Nothing like issuing a stage warning for something like this,I bet the `manager` got a nice pat on the back for a ` job well done`.w*****s. 
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Re: Stage issued for one absence 69 days brain tumor removed
Any decent human being with a conscience would never have issued a stage. They deny it but it's company policy to issue stages at all times. They're just heartless, uncaring bastards.
I'm surprised anyone expects any better any more.

Happened down here with Someone having a tumour removed. Stage One. Totally shameful! Pretty sure he emailed Moya and it was taken away. That DOM has gone to another office now. Saying that we have a new DOM every week...

Re: Stage issued for one absence 69 days brain tumor removed
Surely the tumour is classed as a disability by ATOS, if so they have issued the stage because of your disability that goes against the attendance procedure and the Equalities Act 2010 "indirect discrimination" get a rep on it and submit a grievance under "indirect discrimination" quoting equalities act 2010

Re: Stage issued for one absence 69 days brain tumor removed
The attendance procedure is the best way for a manager to get his own back on the postmen. Its a gift, from higher up, at the end of the day to express his deep hatred by using trigger points to harass at least one of them. Even if you are the perfect employee and you were seriously ill this represents a real success to them. It takes a sick personality to say here sign the stage papers, when your sitting there still weak just happy not to have died.
