Thank you for the replies.

I am in the UK yeah I haven’t refused as I cannot afford for it to go against me.
I think what bothers me is my mental health was triggered because I done overtime since November and they haven’t been paying us right so my overtime was missing eventually got that as a back payment in Jan. I’m still owed 6 hours pay which I’m fighting for.
My payslip isn’t due till end of the month and I’m already so anxious worrying it’ll be wrong again 😩
Could you go to the doctor's again so they put into the medical history that work is stressing you out regarding overtime/pay. Then get them to send it over so it's logged in your history by your doctor that work is an issue so they can't say anything?

Not sure if that's right to be honest, no one should be getting access to your medical records, usually if you are off for more than I think 5 days? It requires a sick note from your doctor but not access to your medical records

Are you UK? I'd maybe contact citizens advice an ask about if that was allowed or if your boss has overstepped boundaries, I used to have to take time off due to my anxiety disorder an never did I give my work place my records, it was notes from my doctor I gave them

It sounds like they have perhaps bullied you into gaining access which tbh could really land them in some serious tit
There's a clause in my contract and handbook that my medical records could be asked for if sickness protocol is triggered. It's triggered after 3 single days of sickness, or 5 consecutive days of sickness. I've never heard of them actually requesting someone's but it does say they can.

Yeah is in my notes that some of the is in work triggered. Like stress defo adds to my symptoms.
I’m going to check my contract now never thought of that.
What will they be able to see? Is it just related to this illness or absolutely everything? Not that I think there’s alot more to see lol

If it's full medical records, it's absolutely everything. If it's just records related to mental health, then it would be exactly that. Please also note some doctors charge up to £50 for medical records so be aware! It also takes a while (30 ish days) for them to be compiled usually, it's not an instant thing.

They are only able to access records which relate to your absence from work, they are not entitled to see your full medical history and the doctors will know that.

I‘d like to think it’s so that they can put in support and reasonable adjustments for you at work X

It’s meant to be so they can put in support but tbh I highly doubt it. I lost a baby last year and was given two days off as a “good will gesture “ 🤷🏻‍♀️😞 not the best company to work for but thank you for the replies.
I’m not in a rush for it they know I’ve said yes they can have permission to see what they need too. The rest is out of my hands

Does anybody know how to remove card details from Amazon? I have been into my account, wallet, but am unable to remove or edit my card details, it allows me to edit previous cards, but not the current one, have wasted over an hour online with them, no help

I can do it by going into my account/your payments/wallet/edit
 
Just had a look, I wonder if it's bugged for you, I went into account, my payments, wallet an then just clicked on the card, hit edit an scrolled to the bottom for the remove option
 
Sometimes it doesn't work from a phone or tablet. I had the same issue. It did work from my pc.

The options edit, remove, cancel and save are available, but clicking on them does nothing, ditto the x to close the page

I'd do Ctrl+alt+delete and close your browser, turn the machine off, leave it a bit then on again and see if that sorts it.
 
It can depend on what you’re using to access Amazon. Not everything works across all versions of their site, which is stupid I know. So there’s things that won’t work in the app/mobile versions but will on desktop but that’s also further complicated by what device you’re using…

Since I’ve given out my personal number to work, I didn’t really want to but didn’t want to be the only person to refuse for the work WhatsApp group with about 30 people, I’ve been getting casino texts, random gambling ones and some from fake email addresses. I’ve never had this before and I’m not sure why it is or what’s causing it?

Sounds like it's either been leaked or someone is purposely using it, could you say to management ab say that you feel like your personally data has been breached? Tbh I certainly wouldn't have been happy handing my number over to a group that large, there's more than enough apps out there that they can do groups an your personal information isn't seen by others

The company should be following GDPR regulations an it sounds like that's been broken by your number being on show for everyone

I didn’t think of the GDPR regulations you’re right. How can someone be using it purposely no one has been in my iCloud will they have access to my actual phone. Yes I will have to speak to someone maybe although management is rubbish

They shouldn't have access to your actual phone, that would be if it was hacked which is something totally different, but doesn't WhatsApp show your mobile number? On your profile? I don't use it much apart from work as our work phone has an account an whenever someone messages me I can see their number, same as if I message them, it sounds like someone has seen it an is probably doing random online surveys an using your number instead

It could be coincidental. Every so often I’ll get a bout of them then they die off.
I assume my number has just appeared on a new ‘data for sale’ list. I have to put it in for stuff like deliveries or registering for websites so it’s out there so to speak despite trying to always tick the ‘no 3rd parties’ box.

We are supposed to fly back from USA to Heathrow on Saturday. I’ve just seen our flight shows as delayed but have had no contact from BA.
I’m assuming it’s because of the fire I saw on the news.
Does anybody know what we are supposed to do? Go to airport as normal? Try to contact BA? I’m at a bit of a loss as I see there has been massive price hikes by all the other airlines
