Wednesday 10th July

14:39

I’ve just been informed that I’m not getting paid for my day off this week. Apparently sick pay is discretional. Now I appreciate I wasn't actually ill. But they don't know this. At first, I thought I might have been spotted on my way to the interview but one of the secretaries who was off for a week after a stroke, isn’t getting paid either.

A STROKE?! Exactly how ill does one have to be to be to meet the criteria for sick pay? Presumably, chronic diarrhea is not expected to interfere with one's ability to work (did they seriously expect me to come in after telling them I was surgically attached to the toilet all weekend?) But if a stroke doesn't merit a leave of absence, I'm stumped as to what does.

    Wow, you really went all out with my sick day advice!
    Stroke woman is clearly an amateur at pulling a sickie, stroke is just taking it way too far.
