Full timer with a broken foot
Posted by J - 10:24 AM 26.07.10
2 weeks ago i broke my foot, on the first week i attended work for 2 days as soon as i was able to move around, so that people at work knew what happened. I had another scan on the following Monday which lead the doctor to put a cast on and that really hurt my foot a lot. The doctor gave me a 6 weeks MC, i pretty much drowned myself with pain killers over the next 3 days as the pain was so intense and unbearable. I was in really bad condition due to the drugs and i didn't call in work to let them know. Today i came in to work and got a warning letter, my manager seems to be very keen in getting rid of me, saying stuff like its not working out. This is the second one and Is there anything that can be done? I don't think i deserve a warning for this, is there anything i can do or say to my employers to make them pull the letter back? Maybe it is my fault, I just really need some advice, thanks.

It sounds as if you’re going through a really tough time at work. It’s important though that you respond to this warning letter in writing. One of our organisers will be in touch today to discuss what’s happening in greater detail and also to give you some suggestions about how to answer this letter.
