I have worked for the same small (30 staff) company for 10 years. Been on maternity leave for 9 months and came back PT in Jan. Am now doing 4 days a week (won't let me do any less).
I am a board director and before I left I really loved my job and was really central in the company.
My boss (MD) is not a very nice man and regarded it as a personal betrayal when I went on maternity leave.
Also while I have been away another director, more junior to me, has been rather sneakily curryign favour.
Since I have come back he has completely ignored me, has nto given me my old accounts back and doesn't bother to tell me about important decisions. I also know he has had several 'private' meetings with this othre director about things which affect me and which when we have directors meetings we are supposed to be discussing, but they have already made a little plan.
On the one hand I think well I can just sit here doing work I could do 10 years ago and being paid a fortune. But on the other, I feel like I am wasting my time.
What do I do?
Sit it out, hope it will change.
Look for another job?
Company is moving office soon and I sort of feel maybe it is time to look again. On the other hand, better the devil you know and can I handle the stress of a new job when I am already really busy.
