Been off work for a little while, had holidays running from the 19th Dec into January 09.
On the 12th? I had to see a doctor as what I thought was a cold was bugging my chest, and was told to take a few days off. My time off sick ended up being the five days before my holiday, so I did not get a sick line, and apparently can only self certificate the first week anyway. The illness got worse, I have had a bad chest throat and ears for most of December, and even got given antibiotics which only got finished on Xmas day.
Anyway today I felt well enough to pop into work, only to find out I am to be disciplined and may even lose my job for taking the week off sick before my holiday and not contacting a manager or making an effort to attend work.
Even though my wife and I called each day on that first week, I should have known better as managers were not in at the times I was calling?
Even though I have been working for ten years with this company, apparently it seems convenient that for the last three or four years? I have been off sick or taking holiday and sick days together around similar times, even though I have in the past provided sick lines and even had surgery all due to neck and chest problems.
Effin great!
