How'd he get to be boss? Im betting he's either a recent uni student OR he's 7ft tall......
Nicely generic insulting of University Students, I'm guessing you didn't goto Uni then and are jealous of people who get into higher positions than yourself after they decided on further education.
Boss still sounds like a bit of an idiot though.The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

In my experience, that is a pre requisite of being a boss!:D

Ummmmm..... No, in my experience when you put an inexperienced child into a management position they will act like utter "know it all" tw4ts.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Then your experience is unlucky but you do seem very patronising towards these members of society, I bet you didn't help their cause did you.The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

It is not recognised as a disability though, like being blind or wheelchair-bound. Cancer is a disease, that's not called a disability either.0 -

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! This has made me so ANGRY :mad::mad::mad::mad:. I have ME. This is a disability. And occasionally, I use a wheelchair. Please note that I am not BOUND to the wheelchair in a physical sense - no one goes near me with rubber bungee cords for example - and when I am ill enough to need one, it doesn't bind my activities. As long as there's ramps and wide enough access (and somewhere to charge the battery for the power chair if necessary) then using the wheelchair actually does the opposite of bind me - it frees me to be able to get on with my life as normal.
UC *is* a disability (as is cancer - yes it's a disease too) as defined under the Equality Act 2010 (which has superseded the Disability Discrimination Act 1995) - see direct.gov.uk (http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/RightsAndObligations/DisabilityRights/DG_4001068)
The definition of ‘disability’ under the Equality Act 2010
In the Act, a person has a disability if:- they have a physical or mental impairment
- the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to perform normal day-to-day activities
- 'substantial' means more than minor or trivial
- 'long-term' means that the effect of the impairment has lasted or is likely to last for at least twelve months (there are special rules covering recurring or fluctuating conditions)
- 'normal day-to-day activities' include everyday things like eating, washing, walking and going shopping
***
OP - I think your husband is doing really well only having two days off in a year when he's got UC, and if his boss doesn't realise that, then it's his loss. If Boss goes "formal", then obviously you've got the protection of the Equality Act to back you up - but it won't hurt (in either an employment or medical sense) for your OH to see the medics as soon as he can.We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:

Cancer is specifically included under the disability discrimination act. I believe that ulcerative colitis would also qualify as a disability under that act depending on its severity.0 -
Well I have had UC for 12 years and have never had it recognised as a disability. Just stated my personal experience.0
