Short term anxiety is unlikely to be classed as a disability.

I have had this anxiety since I started this job - it will very nearly be a year. I am pretty sure it becomes a disability if you suffer with it more than 12 months under the equality act?

unfortunately an EO grade and above is a mobile grade, which means they can move you about either departments or locations to suit business requirements

can you not look around for another job, one more suited?

I am - but with the line of work i am in, its not that easy at the moment.

I understand that, but i have never had the original role i applied for , for them to move me around?

Surely some form of notice would have to be given for this too?

You cant just dupe somebody into a job, then post them elsewhere without even telling them!

Look up the definition of a disability under the EqAct and consider if you meet it, then consider how you feel you are being discriminated against - you're not.

You are being very naive about this. You need to find a way to get on with your job or find something else. You were not offered the other job - you have no legal recourse.

I think they can because officially you don't really have a job role on your contract only a grade, Ive been moved 3 times in 18 months each time I basically got told a day before.

I think if you were in my position you would feel very different.

I find it hard to believe that advertising a post and then placing a candidate in a completely different role is actually legal?

Surely thats some sort of mis-advertisement of post?

Luckily i am in a trade union and in the process of gaining legal advice.

Thats horrendous - I wish i had a days notice.... I would still be with my old employer.

As soon as you start the company can ask you to do anything they seem reasonable.

This isnt reasonable though?

So much for a Fair, Open and Transparent recruitment policy they claim to have!
