    I'm surprised you were only signed off work for 2 weeks if you had a stroke.  I would have thought it would have been longer.  If you had a doctors note for 2 weeks you should have stayed off work for 2 weeks.

    The fact that the grievance review has been completed and they won't temporarily move you to another line manager may indicate you have been unsuccessful in your complaint.

    I was off sick due to stress that was caused by my line manager, and which led me to have a mini stroke and rushed to hospital. 


    Is this your definition or supported by a Doctors note showing this as the cause ?
    What do your occupational health/HR function say about this ?

    ETA How long have you worked there ?
    Hi, I had several tests, MRI, blood tests, CT scan and Ultrasound during the week after the mini stroke, and all was fine. The consultant mentioned it could be stress related and told me to sign off work for 2 weeks. I informed my manager, and his main concern was for me to get back to work. Which I did, 4 days after. I wasn’t allowed to drive for 3 weeks, but my manager insisted I drive in with a colleague. He did not report it to OH or HR. I eventually went off work sick with stress 1 month after, and i asked him to inform OH and HR.
    i have worked there for 2 years.
    I thought the word 'no' was commonplace in most people's vocabulary - certainly my kids picked it up pretty quickly!

    Sorry, but if a consultant said you should be off for 2 weeks and you returned to work after 4 days you are causing some of the problem for yourself.  Are you saying you drove, despite being told that you were medically unfit to do so, or were you a passenger in a vehicle driven by somebody else?  If your manager isn't reporting the situation to HR you must do it yourself.

    This has got all the characteristics of ending badly for the OP and for one main  reason. You are currently on SSP and I imagine that living on such a low income and to continue on SSP is clouding/forcing your decision making. But to advise better or at least offer suggestions I think we need more information.
    In no particular order.
    How many employees roughly and are there different sections?
    Unionised (or at least recognised) and are you a member? If would be good if you say yes to both questions because then I'd direct you to them for advice & assistance.
    If I have read your postings correctly you said that you had already returned to work once and then went of "ill" shortly after, is that correct?
    One of your  later posts hints at your regrets. This is very common. The delay in telling you the outcome is also interesting but that is more likely to be Covid related.
