I think he is thinking more on the lines of the sufferer being put at a desk near the loo, ie a "reasonable" adjustment . you cant move everyone nearer the loo

Well put Mark, as a sufferer of UC, i at times require frequent trips to the loo, i am lucky in the fact i mostly work from home, but when in the office my boss knows and understands. Any manager or company worth their salt should show compassion and be considerate.

Try living with something like a bladder problem or bowel issues and see if its funny then... I dare you to take a day in my shoes and think its funny.

Why would everyone else need adjustments?

So many of us very good at worrying about what other people do and get, rather just doing and getting what we are entitled to or signed up to do. And all that does is create resentments, jealousy and conflict. - none of which are healthy for any of us,

It's easy to laugh and mock those who suffer with bladder or bowel problems, but it is so easy to forget that smoking is a choice, medical issues aren't.

Nothing to do with smokers, are you actually saying we should ignore a work colleague who doesn't pull their weight or do the job they signed up to as it would be unhealthy for us?

They should not but there a quote a few people in the post who think its not fair that everyone not be treated in the exact same way and thats not how the world works. Managing people is about managing individuals not a business team as a whole.

Rubbish, if the workplace has people skiving and expecting others to pick up the slack it should be brought to someone's attention,

What if the line manager does not work on site? Not everyone works in the same office or building, let alone the number of people that don't even work in an office.

Someone on the same pay grade as you is messing about in the office or taking what you perceive to be allot of smoke brakes but his line manager is in another building. He does something different to you so you have no idea what he does and does not get through. How are you personally going to deal with that?

Not smoke breaks, not picking on Smokers, are you happy that you are working as required and someone on the same pay grade is taking the p1ss and getting paid a full wage for less output.
Personally if it was on the scenario you describe, can't you approach your line manager and ask him to ask the question?

are you for real? you don't know me, how do think it right or even acceptable to take the mickey out of me? i suggest you take a break from the internet because its obviously all a bit much for you and you have got over excited.

Ye I am fine with that, surly it will be picked up, these things usually are and when its time for a pay rise or promotions I would have to believe that I would be the preferred candidate over Mr do less. Really though I would expect the line manager to be doing their job and managing that person.
Not much value in looking too far into others business unless it negatively effects you.
