[QUOTE="K8tiedee, post: 6820, member: 4143"] Hi, I have been with my employer for 18months. When I received my ADHD diagnosis I shared the report with my manager. The report said I would need reasonable adjustments, such as regular breaks. I had been on long term sick leave for 18months prior to starting this job due to burnout but didn’t have a diagnosis at the time, so it was depression and anxiety. Since the beginning of the year we have been permenantly short staffed because the contract manager does not believe we need anymore staff despite his superiors telling him to hire more people. This past 10 days have been hell today has been incredibly challenging and resulted in my telling them I will not be back at work until they can confirm there will be enough staff for us to operate appropriately. I’m afraid this had caused another burnout. I can not afford to be off sick and I don’t see why I should be because they have caused this but I don’t know how I stand legally or how I should proceed with this. Does anyone know how I could get someone to come to any meetings with me for support? My husband is my line managers manager so it’s a little bit difficult for him to come with me. I’m so angry and upset by the whole situation. Am I asking for too much to have enough staff so that we aren’t constantly having to do the work of 2 or more people? No reasonable adjustments have been made for me, infact no one has even spoken to me regarding it. And to top it all off we had to complete a ‘sunflower training’ course. Which is a 27 minute video on how we need to be considerate of customers with ‘hidden disabilities’!! [/QUOTE]
