Wish me luck

As some will know I have been recovering from a motorcycle crash (freak accident with goat/sheep running into my path) that left me with multiple injuries... the worst of which is a head injury which has left me off work since June.

Its my third major concussion over the years (1st hit head on rock, then hit in head with bat... don't ask!), so rehab is slow given it was also a good whack to the head causing me no end of memory problem amongst other issues.

The downside to the consequences of the crash is that my employer is getting impatient with the return to work rehabilitation process etc and is looking to "retire" me on medical grounds - which is an easy "out" for them.

With wife, child and another bubs on the way (due Feb 09) this is very bad news for us.

SO...... We have hired one of Auckland's best employment lawyers to assist in the meeting - this Friday. At nearly $400 an hour she better be good!

Wish me luck!!

I am guessing you have an ACC case manager that is taking care of the rehabilitation process? It can be tough for employers to hold positions open indefinately and is one of my bigger fears should the same fate become me.

Good Luck and I hope you get the result you want

Good luck mate, stick it to them.

I've always found with lawyers that you get what you pay for with regard to price.

[Wingnut]

Yea best of luck to ya bro. Hope it all works out well for ya!

[jrandom]

Good luck, dude.

Goodness knows the National Bank's had enough money out of me over the years; I'd far rather they paid it out in wages to a decent cunt who's recovering from a knock on the head than sent it over to get slurped up by the Aussie shareholders.

Selling their skills and themselves... A lot like prostitutes really.

When it all comes down to it, isn't that what all employees do??

I heard politics is the second oldest profession in the world, and bears a striking similarity to the oldest.....
