BOSS REFUSED MY OPPERATION


Can you believe it my BOSS has refused that i go for a Laparoscopy and ovarian drilling on the 21st of May

He said he doesn't see the need for me to go for a surgery that in his eyes falls in with plastic surgery as just because i DON'T OVULATE or have a REGULAR AF he doesn't think it is worth it giving me off for a week.

So behind his back i have moved my opp to the 28th of MAY and i will return back to work on the 4th of JUNE, as i will have a 5cm cut by my belly button and a 7cm cut by my bottom of my belly and im getting CLIPS not stiches. Doc has booked me off as i need to have 10holes burnt into each ovary and he said i will be in alot of pain and need the rest.

THIS IS MY LAST TREATMENT AS WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING NOW.

What am i going to do as he mentioned he will fire me if i go?????????

Call in sick with flu and go! You deserve to have this op. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to fire you for illness, particually if you have a Dr's note.

What an A*hole

I think your boss needs to be reported........this is not like plastic surgery and should not even be considered in the same category!

Can your DR sign you off for it?? Please contact your local CAB for assistance, i'm pretty certain there is no way that he can do this......evil man! I'm so shocked and angry for you.

Find out where you stand exactly and rant it all to him!

WTF! That is just plain crude!

Honey, if this matters to you a whole lot, which I am quite sure it does, go to your appointment!

I'd report your boss as that is wrong!

What a *******!! I don't know much about SA laws but surely there is someone you can report him to?? I thought my boss was bad when he told me "it was a really bad time for me to have surgery". I nearly made him cry I went off on one so badly.
Definitely find out your rights, I cannot believe he compared it to plastic surgery.

Tell him from all of us hes an arse!!

seriously though i would go to the citizens advice hun, they will tell you of your rights, or if you have a barclays bank account they have 24hr lawyers that you can ring for advice.

I think hes just trying to scare you to not take time off, what do you do?

Even is this op was like plastic surgery, some plastic surgery is needed, I had my boobs reduced, plastic surgery yes but I had it done as they were so big they were putting too much pressure on my lungs and deforming my shoulders from my bra. I didnt lose my job or get threatened.

I pray this works for you and you get your bfp very soon
