My other halfs boss, wow. She's a French and German credit controller for a business travel agency. She's really struggled this year and has had 80 odd sick days owing to anxiety and depression.
Her line manager has been really supportive but the unexpected death of his partner has lead to her coming into direct contact with her department manager.
Polar opposite. He's pig ignorant.
She's had two meetings with occupational health and the DM has ignored the recommendations, primarily a laptop - her anxiety is tiggered by being in a large open plan office so would benefit from being able to use a meeting room or work from home. She's been left to implement her other reasonable adjustments with zero assistance.
He throws what I term mental health hand grenades, she spoke to him and suggested going to part time hours "what's the point? When you're off, you're off for weeks at a time"
After the second OH meeting he said "if you struggle to get out of bed how will working from home help?"
"Do you know how hard it is to run a department when you're constantly off?"
He's created an utterly hostile working environment for her and now she's facing a WCA (work capability assessment) in which she could be terminated despite this cunt exasperating her condition and the company offering zero despite the medical evidence provided by her GP, MH advocate and the Occupational Therapist.
