I informed work that I would need time off for surgery, and my line manager said that 2 weeks off was unreasonable time to take to recover, Every time I mentioned that the surgeon had advised at least 2 weeks, she said i was pushing my luck. I was signed off sick for 3 weeks due to the surgery and work have made me feel awkward about taking time off. I have been covered by a sick note although when I called work to advise them of this, my line manager was pressurising me not to use the sick note to its limit. After the sick not ran out I was still in pain and signed off for a further 3 weeks. I e-mailed work as I didnt want to go through the conversation of returning to work early again. Today the company director came out to see me and told me that I have not reasonably contacted work to inform them of the situation. I now want to leave due to constructive dismissal but with immediate effect so that I dont have to go back. Am I in my rights to do this? I am in the UK
