Leaving my job

illustrated.lady

Hello! 

I was diagnosed as autistic 6 months ago, I'm in my thirties. I had been going through a lot of stress and anxiety, particularly related to work so I outed myself and requested reasonable adjustments which were rejected.

Long story cut short, after a lot of absences, meetings and the like, I have concluded that I am just done. I am off sick currently but have decided to hand in my four weeks notice when I return.

I'm very fortunate, my partner earns well and is very supportive but I will of course be looking to get a new job asap. 

Has anyone ever done similar? Any advice or words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

  • My lawyer advised me to stay working whilst I have an employment tribunal in process. Constructive dismissal is very hard to prove at a tribunal unless it is very obvious.

    It seems that the law (equality act) is not as strong as I believed from my own research with so many ways employers can try to wriggle out of the most egregious actions. The words 'objectively justified' are causing me so much grief and stress. Also the unknown factor with the lack of any certainty causes a lot of stress.

    I hope things work out for you what ever you decide to do.
