I had hoped/ thought work would be a positive distraction, unfortunately it feels like a constant battle.
5 months on, still no chair! I understand they are expensive (a manager told me so) if a high street bank which made a very healthy profit can't afford it, then in the interest of my health then I will gladly pay for it.
My job role has been changed without consultation and without training, the new tasks I'm expected to perform are really not suitable for my health at this time.
I've approached my line manager on various occasions, I've offered a couple of solutions, but it seems the only option is to apply for a new job role, great, except there aren't any roles advertised which are suitable.
I wonder if I was in a wheel chair, would I be expected to hop out of it and climb a ladder, I hope not.
The temptation to just fall back on my income protection is very strong.
I'm aware I'm supposed to be protected by the equality act, but in real terms what does that actually mean? If a make a fuss I'm sure my work life will become unbearable, but if I don't stand up then change won't happen and others will be subjected to the same.
