Re: People going sick.
It's very easy to say if medically downgraded - get rid.
Would you differentiate between a person who was downgraded as a result of an injury whilst on duty, a genuine sickness that is no fault of the person (cancer..??), an injury that they could take action to prevent (smoking), a sports injury or an accident whilst off duty?
Also, I have to agree with Mova about posting so much detail about a problem on here. Turn the posts round and imagine how Mr Wippy would feel if his SAC was to post a question on a site asking how she could deal with SNCO who doesn't help her with becoming one of the team or something similar.
