Workplace Problems

Workplace Problems

I was supposed to attend a meeting last week with HR and my manager. But I really wasn't in the right frame of mind. My GP referred me back to the psychiatrist I saw in February, and she wrote me a certificate saying I cannot attend.

End of story right?? Nope!

Because I have a Doctor's note saying I could not meet with HR, my workplace feels I am unfit to work. I am seriously regretting getting this note. HR still wants me to meet with my Manager as apparently my behaviour in the workplace needs to be discussed, but as HR is unable to, they want the 2nd head of the company to attend.
Slightly pissed about this, if people just told me when they have a problem with me it wouldn't have built up to this. I'd honestly rather deal with HR than the über boss, which would be even more terrifying for me.

And with all this, I can't get hold of my psychiatrist. I have no idea what to do and I'm freaking out.

Hey @Crazy_Bug_Lady,
Are you able to bring an advocate with you to any of your work/hr meetings?
When I had a bullying issue years ago, I was supported by our he manager to be the mediator between myself and my manager. It was very productive.
Are you able to call Sane as Sane seems to have a role in workplace education..and if you can get advocacy support through a peak consumer body that might be helpful too. In Victoria we have VMIAC Victorian mental illness awareness council. Maybe they can refer you to your peak body wherever you live. www.vmiac.gov.au

Haha @Alessandra1992, perhaps oracles get their knowledge from others too, then they pass it on, just like you.
