I think that...
...the point is really if someone has to ask that type of question they clearly don't have the levels of normal human empathy to understand why such phasing may be necessary!

Alternatively, you could post something along the lines of "I for one support phased returns, they have helped me enormously during a turbulent time in my life and have made me feel like a valued member of staff here at XYZ and enabled me to be productive for the optimum amount of time during my recovery instead of not at all." It will a) make him feel shitty, b) be a good way for you to publicly thank your managers without embarrassing them, c) deflect the 'possible' criticism as people will assume he is talking about someone else.


Best of luck.

I agree with you there number5.
almost completely.
i think it's likely that the culprit is an autism (there are lots of us about) and as such will lack the degree of empathy we would find in a normal. i think that trying to "make him feel shitty" for what is probably accidental is a sad motive.
that said, maybe the guy is just a cunt?

Yes, I was probably being a little
presumptuous and perhaps a bit petty but on reflection if he is lacking he won't notice and therefore won't be offended and if he is just being a whinger he will...hopefully. My motives were a bit squiffy perhaps.

to be fair...
i'm probably just a bit sensitive to autisms being cunted in the fuck for being, well...autisms!
autismlols, the least appreciated lol of all?
i think you're actually bang-on there apart from the first motive and i can easily forgive that on the grounds of getting irated by insensitive actions. we don't even know if he is an autism!
