You get double pay for them here too, unless you've pissed your management off.

Since they took 1st Jan off me, another collegue asked me to cover his, I agreed and he put the swap in lastnight.
It was instantly rejected with no.reaso

Been asked today by someone else to cover their 1st Jan, they're putting the.swap in today

Sounds like they've really got it in for you, Joe. Bullying b******s.

They certainly have.

I have provided witnesses to my case, but other management will lie to back fellow managers up, so it's gonna be management's word V workers word.

Did you wish them merry Xmas in a pm or a post?

Lots of people ignore posts.

My fb is full of merry Xmas posts, none of which I will be commenting on.

This is what happens when you give power to uneducated, unqualified people.

Has it not crossed your mind that some people hate Xmas and your plastering fb with merry xmas is like rubbing salt in the wound since merry is the last thing they feel.

Just because you are merry and enjoy this time of year, don't assume everyone else is.

Sometimes removing yourself is the only way to avoid the shame and judgement.

Isn't there a difference between sibling rivalry and the view of expectations a parent may have?

I would like to think beyond the views of success your parents may have envisioned for you, they would be more concerned for your happiness and well-being.
If you've cut all ties with mom and dad, you've put them in a position of worry...
Are you certain that alienating yourself from them is the best solution?
My experience with parents is; regardless of the up's and downs and differing views, you get them only for a very short time in life.

I often feel bad and a lot of guilt for cutting all contact as I know they aren't getting any younger and they won't be here forever.

My mum worries excessively about things, I was a constant source of worry for her.

My life is a complete mess.
The less she knows the better.

I am the 1st person in the family to be divorced.
My world ended when that happened.
None of the family know about it so I have been able to avoid their judgement and shame.
They really liked him so I'd have no end of criticism for causing it, and I've enough self criticism going on, I don't need theirs as well.

There is no way I'm making contact again and having them see the mess I've made.

There seems to be an epidemic of cases of bipolar in the usa and uk.

I take grievance at this post.
I read it a few days ago and purposely didn't answer.

This belittles people that have been diagnosed.

Just because there's lots more cases being diagnosed lately doesn't mean they're fake diagnoses.

It may be that more research has been done recently so the condition is easier to spot.

There were lots of people listed as manic depressive 15 yrs ago before they changed the name to bipolar.

I get overwhelmed with feelings of failure

I'm the faliure of my family.

I left them when I was 15, over time had less and less contact with any family member, and broke contact with them completely a couple of years ago.

My family are good people, I just can't have them see my many fails and let them down and be judged, so totally disappearing was the only way.

They have high standards and many extremely successful people in the family.
I've prob saved my parents a lot of shame by the rest of the family not knowing my screw ups.

Sometimes removing yourself is the only way to avoid the shame and judgement.

I hate working for the company I work for.

The manager that took the meeting did it properly, unlike his superior and his understoody when I've had meetings with them about it before.

He wanted evidence of everything, so I had to name colleagues as witnesses.
There were 2 incidents I had to say I couldn't name the witnesses.
After the meeting I talked with one witness who eventually agreed to be named so I emailed the manager - P and gave him her name.

One big part I can't name the witness so that part can't be taken further or looked into.

I work days so we fin on the 22nd for Xmas, back on 2nd Jan.
I was covering for various colleagues so was working right the way through.
Shift swap forms had been in for months.
They took all those extra shifts off me.
I've managed to get 25th & 26th back, but I hear they're gonna take the double time pay off me for them so I'll just be standard pay.

When I had the meeting it was only confirmed they had taken 2 shifts, and that was reported, so in my email after the meeting to P I told him they had taken 4 off me.

There are no spare places on days in my area, but they've already told someone from a different area they've got a position, the only way of giving them a spot is someone moving.....

P has said he will have an outcome for me mid Jan.

There wasn't time for my welfare meeting so that will maybe happen when we get back in Jan if I don't back out of it.
