“I am fed up with fighting to keep myself safe.”
“My employer has rejected two access to work proposals because they
did not want to do the paperwork that was involved once a month.”

“I asked for support due to my health, again I was told I can’t be treated differently from other people in the office as it would look like I have “favourite treatment” within the team.”
“I was made to feel that I was less committed to my work because I have leukaemia (although I’ve never had a day off sick in 4 years!)”
“I can’t put into words really how much strain and stress this puts on me, it’s hard enough functioning on a daily basis without the added pressures of [my] employer not supporting their staff.”

“With regard to the redundancy side of things, I can’t honestly say if it was due to my illness or not, as the company made a lot of redundancies at all their sites. To be honest though I don’t know how these were caused by COVID-19 as they kept working right through the pandemic. I had a lot of time off due to my illness but I honestly can’t be sure.”
