Can they do that? Legally I mean? I'd be on to the citizens advice to check it out.
I worked in HR for ten years
Most of the firms i've worked for HR was refered to as 'dirty tricks department' lol
I work for myself, so if i take time off it costs me shed loads, the cost of 3 weeks off and the cost of the op combined would have bought me a nice boat
That said it was worth every penny as i can already buy regular sized clothes and walk up the stairs without passing out and i'm only 5 weeks post op !
Tell you something Im glad I left the upper levels of dante's inferno while I still had a soul left lol
I got round this by getting them to sign me off sick with abdominal surgery as opposed to bariatric surgery. I work for the local authority so not sure if different employment rights apply for them. good luck x
Sweety Hell does have its advantages, besides i like to sooth my guilty concience by buying new toys and when i'm really bad.............! lol lol
