Job is at risk!
Hi all,
I’m a 26yr old that has been diagnosed with FND for about 5 months now, and if I’m honest i think ive had it longer than that.
Since being diagnosed, ive been honest about it with my manager. All in all, ive had maybe just over a week off since starting the job because of FND. But after my recent time off in which i was hospitalised and provided a sick note deeming me unsafe for a few days, my job is at risk. For reference, I am a chef in a carehome, and the kitchen team is very small. My manager has basically told me that there is a chance i may be deemed as a risk and unable to continue working as a chef.
So ive secretly been looking at other jobs and was wondering what some of ya’ll do that you find you can manage when symptoms are bad.
Thank you!
