Well after handing my line in yesterday and a heated discussion with my area manager he sent my old manager to the shop to see how bad it really is. He phoned me last night and said it's the worst store he has seen ever, and that me going off on the sick has made them see there is a problem.

He has asked for a transfer back there permanently and i've said i will only go back if he becomes the manager as he knows how to run a shop.

He also said i should take the time off to 'recharge my batteries', but to be depending on how i feel and how things go at work while i'm off i may just ask for another week.....
