Hi all, any advise would be greatly appreciated as I just don't know if I need to suck it up or do something.
My boss is very anti-children and often talks of how much she dislikes babies which makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. When I informed her I was pregnant (nobody in her team has children) I have never been so scared in my life.
As I earn more money than my boyfriend and childcare costs are so high we found we would be better off if he stayed at home with our little girl and I returned to work. I have returned to work this week after taking 9 months and I have found this very difficult to deal with as I'm sure a lot of you guys will appreciate.
Upon my return I have discovered that all of my IT accounts have been deleted (email, windows log in...everything...I don't exist) so I have not been able to work and it will probably take weeks to fix as there is a lot of logins to different systems and shared drives I need to have again. I have been here for 17 years and IT told me I took too long off so I need to complete a new starter form (amazingly, its a massive global company I work for). Apparently after 60 days you are deleted, I guess I am the only person to have ever taken maternity leave?!?! Also, on top of this I manage 2 teams of people, both with very different jobs...1 side of my role I love and enjoy doing, the other I don't. Whilst I was away they were split to report into different people to cover for me. I have been told that I am not going to have my 1 team back and they will continue to report into the cover manager. I am so upset about this as my boss knows this was the side of my role I enjoyed and did a lot with. My job will now just focus on 1 half of what I was doing with expanded responsibilities that I just have no interest in and I know will fail (its an impossible task).
I feel trapped as I cant just quit, I am now the only person earning money, also I have to give 3 months notice which I am sure would put off potential new employers. Feel a little lost and deflated. Please any advise would be greatly appreciated.
