I had a concussion in November and needed five months off work. I then started going back two days a week with reduced hours, and over time I gradually increased my days and hours. I have recently started working full time.
This phased return to work was agreed with my manager and occupational health, and in consultation with a Neuropsychologist. I am also part of a Union. Unlike yourself, I also work in a large statutory organisation, so there was cover for me when needed.
What is happening is wrong. I would get your Neuropsychologist to write a letter, you will get better and back to normal but it takes time. Putting you under pressure is not going to help your work or recovery.
