[sm=jump2.gif]Yeaahhhh! Poppet!
So, maybe you could suggest that she next time wan't to issue an instruction or message - that she do it electronically or as a short note... and nobody can deliver the message 'wrongly' ?
Obviously this would be ideal as she would then have to take resposibility for her actions or words and not be able to palm the blame off onto someone else... and perhapswon't get away with just having to say "err sorry"?
Anyway, we were thinking of ya! 🙂
My sentiments entirely!!!
Annie & Conspiritualist - thanks[sm=grouphug.gif]

That was good news Poppet -- I'll be interested to see what happens next and how this all plays out. Good on you for keeping your integrity intact. I'm continuing to send supporting thoughts and love, Jennifer

Stage Two of the battle has begun.
I have now received my new job description and it's total farce. I am expected to assist someone else in part of the job she has taken off me! She has also put every other admin job that is done in the school on my principle duties including First Aid despite the fact that never in a month of Sundays could I kneel down to resuscitate someone!
All this started because I asked for a designated parking space because I have severe arthritis in my knee and was unable to park near to the entrance whilst all the building work is going on. I have a Blue Disabled Parking badge so felt I had a good case, especially as two other members of staff who have difficulty walking have parking spaces. She then sent me to Mediscreen to see if I am capable of doing my admin job despite the fact that I haven't had a day off in four years because of the condition of my knee and there have been no complaints about my work. I knew then that she wanted to get rid of me and this was confirmed when she told me her reason for sending me to Mediscreen was not to find out if I needed any further assistance but to make sure I could do my job! The report said I am perfectly capable of continuing in my post as long as the work is 'predominently sedentary' but all she could see was the bit that said 'no restrictions or adaptations'! I reported all this to my union in writing, stating that I was sure she would change my job so that I can't physically do it and as expected a week later I was told I would no longer be doing the job I've done for four years but would be doing something else.
I feel all this is designed to upset me and get me to the stage where I walk out. I have passed the job description to my Union rep and asked if I can take out an official grievance against her for anything - bullying, disability discrimination or whatever and am wainting to hear. I'm so upset by it all, I know I'm not the only person she's got it in for but I feel so isolated.
My doctor has now referred me back to the surgeon to put me on the waiting list for a knee replacement. I was supposed to hold out until I'm 60 but it's so bad I can't wait another 3 years. I know it's sad but the thought of major surgery which means I will be off work is preferable to working there!
I'm sorry to go on but I just have to get it all off my chest.
If you could send positive thoughts for me whilst all this is going on I'd be really grateful.
