Hi, I am currently going through a redundancy process and I said at the outset that it would be used as an opportunity to get rid of me due to ongoing issues with the menopause and lo and behold, it looks like I’ll be given the chop. I’ve worked for the company for 7 years, had a faultless sick record up until 9 months ago and was well thought of. The last 9 months have been pretty hellish with a couple of periods of sick. My occy health report said this was likely to be an ongoing issue and I would likely need support. General brain fog, anxiety, exhaustion etc etc. I’m in a middle management job and just lost all my confidence. Work know I’m struggling and now I have been put at risk. My job is basically the same but they’ve given it a new title and a very small salary increase but the JD is more or less the same. The thought of having a battle on my hands is really worrying as I don’t feel up to it. Just wondering if anyone else has been/is in a similar position? I’m 52 and not ready to give up work yet. I’ll struggle to get another job with how I’m feeling and my sick record. Just feel a bit out of control and helpless and shat on.
