Hey guys,
Just wanted some advice if possible, as my work situation is really getting me down...
I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant and due to go on maternity at Christmas when I will be 36 weeks. It is a desk office job, so nothing strenuous or anything, but my main problem is having absolutely nothing to do by the time lunch rolls around. There has currently been some shifts in our department with people taking on extra work, or being trained on new processes, but I have not been included in this. I have told my boss that I am running low on work, but they have just told me to do admin tasks such as clear up folders or clear my desktop. My colleagues know that I am struggling and they have secretly been passing me extra work as they are overworked themselves. One colleague has even asked my boss if she could train me up to help her, but the reaction was that 'Katie is not the next person to train in this department'. I feel like I am being overlooked, and I have always been a very capable worker.
Obviously I only have 7ish weeks left, but each day is soul destroying and I am questioning whether to just leave earlier as I am not sure I even want to go back. Especially now I have found out that my maternity cover will be permanent once I return...
Any advise guys? How can I not go insane for the next 7 weeks, as I have no annual leave left?!
