I thought I would do a little update in case anyone is interested. WE had a telephone “case conference” with the HR and OH doc. this case conference was supposed to be two weeks after that last meeting but was 9 weeks.
I am now much better than I was but still slightly incapacitated.
I had great fun pointing out the delays ( I have been asking for a temporary relocation for 6 months but no longer need it) and also pointing out where they had not followed policy and where the reports created and the minutes of the last meeting were wrong. HR was totally silent and no one challenged where I said stuff was wrong. That means Imy version is now accepted as right and they have accepted they were wrong. Pointing out the inaccuracies in the previous minutes and the outright wrong statements in the report got a sharp intake of breath from HR but no challenge to my statements.
Decisions – when I am back at work after isolation I remain working under the light duties protocol. They will get the moving and handling folk to see me again on the ward and this time I will use that to point out all the tasks I have to do that are outside the moving and handling policy. No mention of redeployment. NO mention of going back to full time. I insisted on a full moving and handling audit on the ward and that I have imput into this ( usually done by the bosses who do not point out issues and hide them from the H&S folk. I will point out all the issues.
this will destroy my working relationship with my line manager ( who was not present but will see the minutes) but that was dodgy anyway. Thats a pity.
I think they now understand that I cannot be bullshitted nor pushed around. I am normally very co operative at work and do not cause issues and I am sure they underestimated me. Its great fun quoting policy at them. I doubt many workers actually read and memorise policy!
its opened a whole big can of worms over the working environment that they can no longer ignore. Gonna be a huge issue for the bosses
So all looking good for me.
