Human Resources is not for the employee but for the firm to manage it's workforce, it will never be in our favour, we are just 'resources'. Their manner could be a defense or their lack of humanity?
There was an awful lot of jealousy amongst other staff when they found out I was getting the golden ticket of early retirement. The thought of pain and suffering do not come into it. Most lacked any understanding.0 -

My work has been the same as all of yours, really. Useless HR departments, useless managers (after my last period of sickness, I had to correct my manager when he cited the reason I was off was because I had ezcema).
I don't bother giving explanations to anyone anymore about why I have slightly different equipment to everyone else, why I attend Occy Health appts, why I use my laptop at meetings and not write in a notebook. I know the employment and disability policies inside out, know I'm covered and it's nobody else's business.

Wow, all my colleagues and managers have been really suportive, the time I have had off has never been an issue and specialised equiptment was offered before I even asked for it.
It make me realise how lucky I have been compaired with some of the stories I have heard. Mind you I would still leave tomorrow if I could afford to, where is the lottery when you need it.0
