Someone's going to be fired. Not me. When I joined my current company I was severely unwell. The survival rate for the state I was in was only slightly better than cancer (at 2 years less than 3 in 4 survive). I told work all of this. As far as I can tell they did nothing. As far as I can tell they didn't belive me. They've now got shitty about my performance and have actually asked for an independent review of my health. It is bad. It's significantly better than it was and it probably sounds worse than it is, but it is bad. They don't even know how much worse it was when I joined because they DIDN'T GET AN ASSESSMENT LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. Someone is getting fired. HR hasn't responded to my emails since last Tuesday when they got the assessment. The only person that's said anything to me is my manager, he was in a bit of a grump last Wednesday (I don't think they'd told him yet) but he's being nice today, not a single word of criticism.

Someone is getting fired.

😈

sooo you're saying sick people can work, ehhh

I kind of doubt that since software is a mental activity and I have brain slop from the covid vaccine

@jestdotty my brain just about works fine (ignore the panic attacks and flashbacks), thankfully the ambulance reached me as fast as it did otherwise I'd have suffered brain damage or death. My lungs are totally fucked however.

Sorry to hear from your health. Hmm, and you performance is good? I literally tell people that I do good shit :p Major flexing works great for me.

I had a few months ago independent review on my health. My health is fine. But I told the psychiatrist that I do not really see the point of co-operation because I know what he'll say. And tadaa, again, a half year no workii.

As long they declare me ill, I'll get injections and I just won't work and the better part is, soon they have to pay me compensation. Forced free money. Well, I accept.

But it's a crazy world dude.

@retoor I've been half assing my job because I'm burnt out dealing with my health and their bullshit. Like every other week I'm asked to go into the office even though I've said it could kill me. It's by the CTO and I don't really feel like I'm allowed to say no. They've got shitty in the past about me taking time for hospital appointments. I'm willing to bet the only reason they've done the assessment of my health is because they wanted to fire me and thought it would help them pressure me out. I'm currently fully remote, I'm willing to bet they were hoping to force me to be fully in office. Not only am I telling the truth, but it sounds kinda worse than I made out. Even though I've agreed to every reasonable request they've made for medical info.

I'm in the UK, they've recently asked for an occupational health assessment which I've done, I said I wanted to go via the NHS, they tried to force me to go private. I had to argue against that in favor of what I wanted. But most useful for me is they put on the form I'd complained of "undiagnosed chest pain" (the report states I have significant lung damage as a result of bilateral pulmonary embolisms that required ICU admission, exactly what I disclosed), they also asked if I was protected under the UK equality act as a result of any disability I may have (they were clearly thinking the answer would be no). Not only was the answer "yes", but the answer to that one question is half a page. Also they said they support me continuing to work fully remote.

I sent a rather blunt email over the weekend asking for an update, the only response I've had today is an acknowledgement and saying it'll "be addressed in due course". If I've not got an answer by the end of the week it'll be a grievance. If I've not got an answer by the end of next week it'll be the ICO and employment tribunal.

We're a fucking medical research company. We have MDs on the board and on staff.

Needed to rant. Feel better for it.

@atheist by big coincidence, I got accused of being not integer regarding something today. I got official warning. I also will not accept it and before end of the week that warning will be revoked. If not, at least there's a very solid statement of me when my name is looked up afain. It's in a database where you don't want to be, especially not in a negative way 😂

Fuck those people. Who they fuck they think they are. Just people in general. I won't ever justify myself. I have a lot of credibility in several ways and will use that to the max.

@retoor I raised a grievance when I joined the company because I told them about my health and also said I had ADHD. I joined about 9 months after hospital and had been out of work for that time. They did nothing about my health and, best I can tell, they wanted me to go through a full ADHD assessment and send them the report (all manner of illegal). I still don't understand what they wanted. It was a condition of my probation (totally illegal). I talked them down to just some ADHD coaching, but even that I didn't want. The occupational health referral they made listed "reasonable adjustments" they've made. The list was incomplete and inaccurate. Not implementing agreed reasonable adjustments and not notifying me of their withdrawal is disability discrimination (totally illegal). I went along with it then because frankly I was too unwell to find another job or fight any more than I did. But I was expecting them to try some more shit at some point. Now they have. Took longer than I expected, but I've also mostly kept my mouth shut and not complained. Which I feel like that they were trying to bully me into shutting up. Now I'm well enough to fight. But also I think they've realised from the health report how monumentally they've fucked up. So we'll see. I may have to break some legs.

@atheist VENGEANCE LEG BREAKING 🙌

@retoor
Why do you have a health assessment and why does it include a psychiatrist, and how did you manage to convince a psychiatrist you were sick because you don’t like cooperating?
