Back to work

Well for the first time today since I was diagnosed with lung cancer I was quite disgusted at how my phased back to work Interview progressed , I realised that our company’s 6 month sick pay policy was just lip service ,, ie now that the six month deadline is approaching my companys HR don’t even know what date I left to have my operation and quite frankly don’t care. I have been made to feel like I have been absent from work with a cold or some other faked illness and that I will be treated that way as my paid sickness is due to expire ( so much for thm telling me when I went in for my operation not to worry, I have done my upmost to be positive - even going back to work at the start of last November, although it was a struggle I thought I was doing the right thing for the company to keep things as straight forward and as normal as I could regarding the situation of my health ,I returned home today with bruises on my arm from carrying things around even though I’m supposed to be on light duties and I am so disappointed at how my meeting went today , I feel like I am being deliberately forced to do things I’m not capable of doing like I used to and that they have just washed thier hands and left me to the Hr until I am forced out of the company, so much for feeling like I was doing so well.

really devastated

sorry needed to vent my frustration!

  • Hi ed ... they've probably been lucky enough not to have been or have someone close on this journey we find ourselves on... you owe them nothing now, if I were you, I'd look somewhere else, where they have half a heart, and more understanding ... 

    You look after you now, don't work where you put your health at risk, you've come too far ... thinking of you ... all the best .... Chrissie xx
