Burnout absences at work

Rosebud

Hi I'm new on here, I wanted to ask about burnout. I work part time and recently been informally warned as my sickness levels specifically mentioned was my burnout absences, I was referred to OH for adjustments but looking into it the most useful would be what the company could do for me but that's upto the employer to do it. And I have no faith in them helping me to be honest. I wanted to know if anyone else has been in this situation and if so how it was resolved, what adjustments help in this situation. I have been at a loss becasue it's not just work that triggers these it's life in general. How can work adjustments prevent burnout. I genuinely don't think my employer understands autism.

  • Sounds an all to familiar story.

    In my case I am about to go to a tribunal as I have been effectively ended by my managers. 30 years of a specialised career over because I asked for help with my struggles. I have been chastised for unvoluntary facial expressions, told I should know what my barrier in employment should be even I was going through the assessment process. I have had managers asking occupational help if I was 'safe' because of my diagnosis and suggesting that my medication should be altered or doses missed to allow me to carryout some duties.

    I have always be a union man but on this issue my uniion has been unable to make my employers see sense and refused to help me legally.

    I was going to go it alone with the tribunal but have realised that this has become all consuming and have decided to get a lawyer at a considerable cost. Being in my fifties I have no realistic hope of finding employment at my level in my field.

    Honestly I have been in almost constant burnout since 2020 and see no way through it.
