I should have known better than to air this on this forum. It was a general 'what if' scenario.

To which you have had the best possible answers given your (continuing) lack of any information at all. Do not blame the forum or other posters for your own shortcomings. If you want good answers you have to ask good questions.

And I repeat - I will lay bets that there is a conditional word next to that "deadline" and that there is no deadline at all. How do I know this? Because I have never seen a grievance policy that wasn't written in that way.

The deadline has passed by 2/52. For the non cryptic code readers that means two weeks.

I have never seen weeks referred to as 6-7/52 as in your OP and also had to guess its meaning.

Are you perhaps in medicine? Do you expect everyone else to be familiar with your jargon?

Perhaps you meant "on" and not "in"?

Unnecessary and spiteful comment.

Not in the slightest bit spiteful. The OP has asked an incomprehensible question and expected answers, and then become belligerent and nasty when they didn't get the answers they wanted. I do wonder sometimes whether it would be helpful to have a two part new thread option - "what is your question" and "what are the answers you want". That way we could save time trying to help people who don't want advice.

So you thought you'd have a dig about their mental health? Because that's what the suggestion that someone is "on medicine", "needs to take their meds" etc really means isn't it?

I don't think you meant it in a nasty way, but your comment (joke?) was pretty ignorant.

For your information, how you read it is not my fault, but that is not what I meant at all. I am on medication and not for mental health issues at all. I have no reason to make the connection that you made, and didn't make that connection. I meant that the OP had demonstrated a nasty side to them, and showed no respect towards anyone here - which is perverse considering their complaint! So the comment was about there being "something wrong with them" rather than any comment or suggestion of any other kind.

What other kind of medication would be related to wheezy having a nasty side to them, being belligerent, making incomprehensible posts? It's quite clear that your post was meant in a derogatory sense, and that references to people "taking their medication" in such a context relate to mental health.

You're clearly an intelligent person, trying to brush it off by playing dumb does not suit. You made an error of judgment, better to learn from it than dig a large hole for yourself.
