Is my employer playing games?

I would ring HR and see what is happening. There are set procedures they have to follow if they want to reduce your hours or get rid of you. If you can work from home, you might find things a little more enjoyable and if it isn't working for the company, they might offer you a redundancy package which has to be preferable to just leaving.

Agree with above posts. It worries me that you don't enjoy your job, and I think you should consider what you would like to do in the longer term, but be aware that if you leave your job now, it might be hard to find work in the current circumstances. Being proactive will help to reduce your feelings of anxiety and help you to regain a feeling of control over your life. I hope that your health continues to improve. Good luck!

I agree that you should phone your company and as suggested above, email afterwards confirming the conversation.

Clearly you need support after such a lengthy sickness absence. I am glad you’re now sufficiently recovered to be able to phase back into working.

If you leave your job, do think about the current environment for finding another. Also think about what your CV will look like with a lengthy sickness gap and what your employer would say in your reference.

Good luck.

As Illte said, you need to be proactive. But I would also email them after the phone call so it’s in writing. ??

Phone them now and have a conversation. It's not a one way street?

You've probably just slipped to the bottom of the pile of things that need doing. If there's been a delay in getting the equipment they've just put it to one side to be dealt with later.

It happens.
