If you are on certified sick leave I would refuse all meetings with HR.
Can't really blame them, it is a difficult situation for them as well as for you.
Surely that depends on their contract terms & conditions - e.g. some employers offer sick pay or salary/permanent health insurance to cover such situations as part of their remuneration/benefits packages to employees?This is just my personal opinion, but people who go off work "sick with stress" and expect to continue on their salary and keep their job are leeches. They should just quit and find a nicer job somewhere else.
Your use of quotation marks around "sick with stress" could be interpreted as implying that you consider many (most?) people in that situation to be some sort of malingerers? If so then this seems like a gross generalisation.
You seem to be assuming that most or all people who go sick with "stress" do so mainly or solely due to workplace (dis)stress? This also seems like a bit of a generalization. Just because you know some people who, in your subjective opinion, might have fitted the malingerer category doesn't mean that most or all others are the same. Perhaps you simply don't consider stress (and perhaps other mental health) related illnesses (as certified by a medical professional) to be "real" illnesses and you would probably not be alone there in being so blinkered unfortunately.My point was basically, if your job is too stressful, get a different job!
I don't."As certified by a medical professional" means nothing to me, as again, we all know of doctors who will give a cert for anything.
I think some doctors are more flexible than others.
Of course there are real cases, but I'm yet to see one.
