[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 862124, member: 4568"] [b]Re: Has anyone went from a full-time driver back to part-time working in the building[/b] Of course it is. I have seen several drivers taken out of service and put on comp for stress and anxiety. It is a valid medical condition. That's what they are "concerned" about. Not your well being. Your original post stated that you have repeatedly informed them of your excessive hours. It's no coincidence that now that they know you are seeking medical help, they are all of a sudden are interested in your well being/hours. If you agreed to call in Monday, do so. Simply call and remind them that you are scheduled off for the day and will not be in. That's it. Do no engage in any other conversation. No matter how they try and manipulate you to come in or discuss your health situation. You can always call your steward or even another hourly first,then link up to the center. That way you will have a witness. You possibly have a medical condition, do not let anyone minimize it. If you had a broken leg you would not go in first and "discuss" it with your center & divsion mgr. before seeking treatment. This situation needs to be handled the same way. After your appointment keep all of this in mind and remember: 1. It's none of their business what your diagnosis/prognosis is. 2. What medications you are on. 3. What treatment/ therapy is needed. 4. If you are taken off work, the only info they need is your approximate return date. I do wish you luck. Hopefully with some medication, therapy , and /or time off you can get your life back. Stress, depression, and anxiety can be very debilitating. It is often categorized as being all in your head, or a sign of weakness. Which it is neither. It is a real medical condition. [/QUOTE]
