I've been out of work for 3 days because of my vertigo. I was told by my manager that I needed to get a doctor's note AND a Request for Short Term Disability form completed and signed by the doctor, before I'd be allowed back to work. I've been calling all week and the doctor's office is blowing me off. I called work and my manager then tells me to forget the Request Form and come into work anyway. I did get the doctor's note saying I can return to work on the 16th but the form is still missing.

Maybe I'm being a little fussy here, but I got majorly $crewed when I didn't get something in writing at the funeral home in MI. I don't want to take the chance again. I called them back and told them if CORPORATE, who needs this form so badly, will waive the form until it's signed and in their possession and allow me to return to work, I'll be glad to come in. I was covering my own butt. Until then, I'm not moving.

Any comments??
