wasp sting

Post by heckster »

I was stung on my eyelid by a wasp. I completed my duty after a visit to a doctor, he gave me an injection and pills. I then lost all vision in the eye for two days. my manager told me this was not an accident on duty and would be classed as sick leave. this puts me on a stage . surely this not right?

Of course it's an AOD, wasp sting, dog attack, seagull attack, cat attack...
Fill out the accident book, you are entitled to do that.
Get your rep/area/H&S rep on the case.

While it WILL automatically put you on a stage/pull up the warning if you reach the criteria , the 3 reps mentioned above should be able to stop it being issued.

Your screw is a cock!

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.
