Hi All,

Well I returned to work 8 weeks ago now, completed my phased return, had some adaptions done to make things easier, and all seemed to have been going well....

Last week obsene and vulgar comments were posted on Facebook, towards a picture of me from 2 years ago that was taken a works christmas doo.

I only found out about this because a couple of my colleagues saw these actions and informed me.

I have now had to put in a Greivance against these colleagues, the union have also been informed and the HR department.

I feel a bit sad due to doing so well when Ive had such a bad year being diagnosed in April, and was just about to get back on my feet, I am going into work today and don't know what to expect next.

I don't understand why people have to be so two faced and nasty.

I feel as though they have done this to push me out of the workplace.

You thoughts and comments would be much appreciated!

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

That is a terrible way to be treated, there really is some sad people out there. Why don't you contact Facebook and report this to them too. I think they take cyber bullying seriously, and the people will be dealt with.

Do not let these people spoil your return to work, that's what bullies do, they are sad losers and will get their comeuppance, I truly believe what goes around comes around.

Be strong and positive, you're work has helped you don't let others spoil it.

Take care you won this round, you didn't let them away with it. Go you.

Good Luck Lorna x

hi Michelle,

sorry you've had such an awful experience, and having to work with them too.

do you feel able to ask them why they've said these comments..? i know it would be a brave thing to do but perhaps you would feel better afterwards.

people can be so cruel and so many don't understand about this illness either.

i hope you can get some resolution to this soon,

keep us posted.

What a horrible experience Michelle, made worse by the fact that you already have to cope with a return to work. People can be so thoughtless and cruel.

I hope you can stay positive, and not let this get you down, as you have done so well to get back to work.

Take care,

Thinking of you Michelle. What a horrible thing to happen. Glad you are doing so well on your return. Don't let the nasty actions of others spoil it. XX Ailsa

Thank you so Much for you kind words.

I have sent a Grievance into HR and the Union are also aware, Im not going to let them get away with this.

Thanks again Michelle x

I am really pleased to hear Michelle that you have taken this matter further, these people need to be dealt with by authority and made to pay the price for such terrible behaviour.

Wishing you all the best.

Hello Michelle

Just wondered how you were ?

What job is it you do ?

Are you managing to cope now and have the vulgar people been 'sorted'

They are nasty jealous people. Make sure they dont get away with it. You are brave and strong and you are doing well. Dont let them get you down.

Good Luck Kathleen Mc. x
