They really were. Take it easy man. Phone in sick and chill for a few days or something.
Can't phone in sick, I'll be on a "stage 2" warning on their absence procedure. I'm already on a "stage 1 " warning from when they put me on a ridiculously hilly walk which I told them would cause me problems and I had to take a couple of days off sick then.
If I'm on a "stage 2 " warning, one more absence in the following 12 months would = dismissal.
Although....

They seem to regularly be flippant with a lot of your needs ... their attitude when you went off with your hip was shite too. Can't stress how much you should get todays events at least logged/documented with your union or HR .. if you ever need to make an official complaint about poor treatment from them in the future, a log of events like the one from today helps towards demonstrating good cause for grievence should it be necessary to prove one at some point
this is the way people challnge and appeal against stage 3 dismissals.
when you say their being flippant with a lot of my needs, it's not just me, its all employees, they are trying to drive out full time permanent staff, in an effort to take on a new casualised part time workforce on temp contracts, in order to make the business more attractive for privatisation.
It's disgusting the way they are treating us.
This is an old article, a couple of years old, when this targetting started, it's just been getting worse and worse.

I still like my JOB, the WORK I do, I enjoy it, but my employers are scumcunts of the highest order. if I hadn't gone in today, I'd have been onto a "stage 2 " warning.
