So.
Work...... pppppfffffff....
I work for a large multi-national corporation and my office is based in Scotland.
Approx a year and a half ago, I moved to England and began working remotely with visits back to the office approx every 2 months.
When I left, I stopped being on-call (we provide computer support 24x7 worldwide)
The on-call part of the job is not mandatory and when I started, I was only on temporary as one f the regular guys was off sick (it was later discovered that he had terminal stomach cancer and has since passed away)
The Christmas before I moved, I told them that I was wanting to stop with the on-call side of the job but they did nothing to find a replacement.
In the time that I have been away, my manger has been slowly pushing the issue about me going back on call.
I have explained about my depression and mental states and he told me that his wife has gone through sever post-natal depression to the point that she had some sort of electroshock treatment.
As a result of this, I thought that he would understand but no, he is still pushing the issue.
After my recent breakdown, I spoke with HR and explained what I have been going through an they have said that they will speak with him about the on-call and hopefully get him to back off.
My very real concern is that he will say that I need to come back to Scotland and start coming into the office every day.
This would be pure spite as far as I am concerned. One of the other guys came off the on-call on medical grounds (high blood pressure) and so I don't see where the difference is as I have a perfectly valid medical reason.
If my manager starts to push with this, then the next step forward would be for me to go off sick which is something I don't want to do as i would leave the rest of my team in the lurch. They have been very understanding, and I don't like to let people down.
Maybe I am getting ahead of myself and should wait until the HR team speak with him.
But I can't help the feeling that I am going to be back into a corner and that is really not helping my chemical imbalance at the moment!
I dunno what to do
(sorry about the long post again!)
