Thats the kinda shit that forces people to claim
When I went to the union rep to ask if it was right he just said stick a claim in, had they not pissed me off I wouldn't have bothered..
And I might not be looking to leave after 10 years here..

Bloody hell!!
That said I came off two years back in my works car park- bike just slid out sideways, both wheels went west and down I came into my knee.
They said well we're out in the sticks so you should expect it yet their policy said to provide safe access & egress to all to & from all sites.
Had to take time off as my ankle and knee where buggered and so was my bike.
Uni paid for the bike to be repaired (
) but work gave me a written warning over the days I had off and then put me on a zero hours contract.
When I complained they said due to the time off they had lost trust in me as an employee
. Well done I said, crashed because of your shitty car park and had time off because of my injuries and now you're constructively dismissing me.
Had no legal protection and a barrister said I had less than 50% chance of successfully claiming against them.
I vow to always claim after that as cumulatively that and the off before is the reason I'll be penniless for 5 months whilst this opp happens unless I can find an office job whilst in the traction boot so I can pay my rent.
Angry-oh yes

cheers pal, got my last MRI on Tuesday so they can adjust the sizes for the replacement ankle, I think my surgery is at the end of the month.
I'd be more gutted at missing this summer but my Nelli still isn't running, may have to save for a CO analyser as no one has one to lend.
