Yes or I'm prepared to share if anyone else wants to help create his excuse ... Out of the goodness of our heart of course!

Well @potsy *is* my height. Can I have his MTB?

 

[fossyant]

That's awful, fossy. I'd definitely seek advice about that. Are you in a union? CAB may be able to help clarify your rights.

I've asked HR directly what are my options. I have also emailed my solicitor. They effectively want me back full time or not at all. I have enough accrued leave to do a 4 day week for the next 6 months, but they won't allow it.

The next option is a warning shot from my solicitor.

That's the blue one.... I have first dibs.... Unless it is too small

Meeting with HR and line manager today.

Blah blah how are you doing. Yadda Yadda your job is full time and if you are finding five days a week hard and it means you are in bed in the evenings, then you are out on your ear (reading between the lines).

My line manager is ok but we have some barstewards above him.

Might need some legal advice about disability discrimination. Bloody worked hard to get back to work. I have 5 months half pay sick holiday I could take. Grrrrr

Check the Equalities Act 2011, see if you're covered. Replaced the DDA 1995, amongst others.

I'm beginning to detect some patterns in your trips. They all seem to involve either garden centres or bird parks.... and refreshments.

I've got to keep the motor fueled.

You lot are useless, only 24 hours now to come up with an excuse not to ride tomorrow, @I like Skol is making plans for the meet up

Just ride you're bike, I've been out on my bike this morning.

I've lost count of what's what.

HR have said I fall under it, but if I can't do full time I will get sidelined at best and certainly won't be doing this job. If I could afford to I'd now just work 3 days as it's killing my back. Will have to get my solicitor onto the liability admission then I can just work part time

It's way too big for Jo, you still have 1st dibs.
Anyway I was thinking of giving the fixie a run out, it's lighter than the mtb and a bit quicker

Not the best of solutions. But if they're saying you can do the job part time, they are at least admitting you're capable of doing the work.
Reasonable Adjustment should be considered when returning to work. They've made some, the "cheating seat", but have they gone far enough?

 

[potsy]

It's not as if we get to see pictures from his rides, is it?

Be careful what you wish for

When do I pick it up I love that bike!

 

[GrumpyGregry]

On a plane.

(But this one will be flying SE not NE)

I passed a farm this morning. I don't know what they are cultivating in their dung heap and slurry pit but struth! It started closing down my sinuses 500 yards away

Better than chemical fertilisers
