    Aye. As I said I was stupidly expecting some sort of compassion and understanding from them. 
    I emailed them in the evening telling them I was not happy with how it was handled and the lack of support I was getting. I recieved a phone call the next morning at half 9. 
    "Wasn't meant like that, take yer time" etc etc. I'm on compassionate leave until Friday and like folk have suggested, I'll be speaking to the doctors on Monday.
    I realise I've been a gullible fool thinking otherwise but it made me realise yer nuhin to these companies but a fucking number. If I died the mora I'd be forgotten next week and replaced in a fortnight. 

    How many weeks to the end of the Euros?

     

    Sorry for your loss, hope you get through the next few weeks ok

    Colleague of mine started around mid December and starts maternity leave on Monday. Interesting one. I'm surprised by this as the department she's in has been like a revolving door of staff, and they desperately needs some stability and employee retention. I'm surprised they would knowingly hire someone who was very shortly going to need a year+ off work.

    They can't even ask at the interview unless she volunteers the information.

    What's the standard/expected amount of compassionate leave offered by companies?
    My Da died and I've been given 1 week. 
    Given it'll take about 3 weeks from start to finish I think that's bullshit.

    Same at my old place. Brother died in the Monday, my manager was on at me the Thursday saying I needed to come back Monday. "His hands were tied"

    Turned out the handbook said " recommend a week but open to interpretation depending on circumstances"
