Re: TW- sensitive topic, abuse.
I appreciate it, but I'm not sure if I should go into more detail.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 08.12.25
Aw I'm sorry to hear that @eylah, I'm always here to listen if you'd like to talk
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 08.12.25

I'm sorry this evening's been hard. Sending lots of hugs as well 🫂
@Redemption I'm glad you're doing okay

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 08.12.25
just spoke to calm. they were fucking horrible. i just wanted a chat bc i felt lonely bc i was missing my mum. and they said well you’ve msged up before n we can’t support you? they were rly rude!! i hate them.
Im really sorry what happened with that @eylah its disgusting how these places can treat people, they are meant to be there to help, we're always here though and there's a support thread on later, if you think that will help ❤️

@Redemption @Redemption I am glad to hear you are doing okay. I wish you didn’t have to carry that kind of pressure on top of being exhausted as being criticised can hurt so deeply, especially when you’re already trying your best. I hope tonight feels kinder to you.
@Ech0 thank you so so much, I really appreciate it, you're really kind, Im struggling a bit again but Im glad I have so much support here.

Aw I'm sorry that happened @eylahI had a chat with calm once when I was feeling kind of suicidal and I got the sense they were kind of blunt when I spoke to them. You don't deserve to be spoken to rudely eylah, especially not when you needed support. Sending a virtual hug (if you're comfortable of course)
yeah they rly aren’t great are they? worse helpline ever !!

Re: Just don't want to be here anymore
Arghhh...this work situation has caused so much stress..
So hr said probation cant be extended, phoned HR myself they said as the policy allowance has been given vut if i feel mitigating circumstances then to raise this during meeting that is held. I asked whether occ health has been taken into consideration, if they received report, if my individual needs circumstances were considered and all the service manager replied with is she cant answer all the questions by email vut can discuss it during my formal probation meeting. I asked if it means ny contract will be terminated she said no decisions have been made yet.
Then I logged into my work emails and ive received a formal letter stating the probation period ending, it was extended for occ health and tgis has since been implemented (well no icc health referal was made October, report was received 2 weeks ago and my probation was extended August). These are your performance concerns and as dismissal is a likely outcome, you may bring trade union with you. .no concerns on my performance has been made to ne otger than those relating to my autism. I dont know whether thats the same bog standard letter they send to all and I'm reading to much into it m
Thibg is yes ive not met requirements snd theyve said this but my autism has prevented this, adjustments have been inconsisten, which ive raised informally and I need more time as I'm sessional so ibe only done 40 shifts over 1 year which equates to about 8 weeks of shifts for a full time person. Sessional staff and full time staff ha e same probation period duration how is thst fair??
If they do dismiss me I it'll be my autism.
