Feeling pretty down right now. Just received a thick envelope from my works lawyers.
Had some time off work a few months ago due to stress related issues caused by pretty unreasonable circumstances at work, targets almost doubling and ways to meet target being reduced significantly + major structural changes. Couldn't sleep, would wake up 4-5 times a night, most of these on the verge of throwing up, rapid weight gain (12kg over 2 months), migraines, chronic fatigue etc.
Independent assessors assessed that my elevated stress levels were legitimate and labelled it as an adjustment disorder.
Work are now taking it to a tribunal to try and make me pay back any wages I've received as they believe all changes were "just and implemented so as not to cause additional stress".
They couldn't even pass on the report to me in a timely manner, had to chase them up on it.
Feel like I just want to quit, become a hermit and pay them back their money even though I know I'm in the right.
