That old chestnut STRESS. I have never known so many people in my life to claim they have stress. It is the most awful thing to have and for people to claim to have it to get a reaction from the manager is selfish. We had people just walk out when it was a heavy day with so called stress just to get home for the footy. The man should be ashamed of himself, just trying to get a co worker in the crap. Good luck
brothermagrew I agree with your explanation. But what I was saying, probably badly, was the misuse by some of the condition for their own ends.
As an ex H&S rep I have seen it happen so many times, and the point was it is very serious and distressing and if it is missused by some it might in the future not be acted upon by the DOMS when genuine.
Sorry if I did not make it clear :oops:

nelson you came across loud and clear and indeed made valid points so there is no need for any apology. Stay safe my friend for within RM we are constantly told that H&S is paramount.
