We have six.
We don't teach other sciences
They have similar numbers of specialists in B and C

It's yet another strain on schools, but it is important to make the work place attractive.

People generally prefer to teach within their specialism

A really really really old joke
I first read it by Alan Moore, it's even older than that though

Same here. And when we return we have to fill in a form to say why

Some people abuse the system for paid leave Im sure. But if it's unpaid leave, why would anyone say no?
July 6, 2025 at 5:07 PM
What do you put in the form : "reason for absence"?
July 6, 2025 at 5:05 PM
It's the same in other industries. Depends on the individual manager and company in my experience. And how difficult someone is to replace.

my employer was brilliant when I had covid and longcovid. Long term sick leave, staged return to work, flexible when it got too much, time off to attend clinic. Repeated checks when I returned full time.

Trusting a human resource?😱

Whatever next? 😉

Absolutely. I haven't found out what HR do with all the information.

I guess nothing until redundancies are on the horizon

The Bradford factor
July 6, 2025 at 4:06 PM
We still have to fill in a form with the reason and that's reported with a web site that gives a score, red/amber/green and pie chart for the type of absence

Also mental health stigma
