How long should I wait for line manager call?

[danny la rouge]

I’m signed off long term sick. Line manager wants to call to “check in”. She emailed to say she’d call at 1pm today. It’s 20 past.

On principle I don’t want to phone her. I’m not at work. I’ve handed in sick notes. I’m on zero hours anyway and I’m not even being paid.

I want to go out with Mrs LR.

Half one at very latest

But really the manager should have called by 1:05pm at very latest or advised they couldn’t make the time & rescheduled.

You should have gone out before 1

Go out.
I expect you probably have by now!

If the call was expected to last e.g. 15 minutes and they said they would phone at 13:00 I think it would be unreasonable not to answer within those 15 minutes, because that is time you would have previously allocated for talking to them. If they phoned at 13:14 it would certainly then be acceptable to say that you could only speak for literally one minute as you were about to go out.

I would only give it 15 mins wait.

If they arranged for 1pm they should ring at the agreed time. If there is a delay then they should not expect you to be hanging on for their call.

She phoned at 1:42, just as I was literally walking out of the door.

In her defence the college has been closed due to “dangerous windows”. The things that go on when you’re off.

I read that as ‘dangerous widows’. I’d definitely watch that on TV.

I’d date one, tbf.

I’d date one, tbf.

Ms LR might then become one?

Yeah. It was a rubbish quip. I wouldn’t really. Mrs LR might know what a draining rack is for but she’s wonderful.

You must wait until the time of ending, when it is prophesied the child will deliver us from the adversary

Did you talk with her though? Is she referring you to OH?

I did talk with her. She is not referring me anywhere.

That's good news? She can't fairly invalid you out without a medical report? (Not sure about Scotland).

I think that’s right. To be fair she seemed pretty supportive. But, you know, bosses…

Yep, never know when their "support" will run out. Make the most of it.
