    Robert Parkisson, 62, from Chadderton, Greater Manchester
    (pictured holding grandson Zac above) and his family have been left furious
    after bosses told him he no longer has a job, after taking seven months off to
    mourn the death of his daughter.
    Robert was diagnosed with depression and has been on sick
    leave since his daughter Lisa,35, tragically died two days after
    giving birth. A furious Robert says his bosses just wants him to come to
    work and careless about his feelings.

    ‘I’m just a number to them. All they care about is me coming
    back to work.
    ‘They don’t care about me as a person. It is so
    disrespectful to my daughter’s memory.’
    He continued;
    ‘First Bus keep asking me for a date to return to work but I
    just can’t give them one.
    ‘When I’m behind the wheel and I’m carrying a bus full of
    passengers, I’m responsible for their safety.
    ‘But, with how I feel at the moment, I just couldn’t drive
    the bus. Sometimes I lose concentration and drift, sometimes I just break down
    into tears.
    ‘I can’t control it and each day is different to the next.

    We have had barely no support from anyone and to find out
    that I’ve lost my job as well has just been too much for us all to take, he
    said.
