I feel your pain Steed
However not everyone can pull a sicky when they want
3 sickies in a 12 month period at Royal Mail and you're on a warning
another within 6 months and its stage 2
Then its a year and a half without taking any sick time or stage 3 and consideration for dismissal
Not so easy just to go sick in those confines
so you have to struggle in and pass it on
Having said that at least in my locale I can see my GP the next day if not the same day if ring in early
The out of hours cover isnt that great though
Oh and you used to be able to ring in and take an annual day if you felt rough and had no sick time but thats gone to 24hr notice so you still have to go in
And then you can only take an annual if your section is below a percentage off already
Otherwise your boned
:rotfl:
Get well soon
