Hoping to get some views.
My employee recruited an employee in my team after I went on maternity leave.
The new employee was not filling a maternity cover role, but was recruited as a permanent employee, seemingly because it was felt there would still be enough work to go round once I returned from leave. When I left, it was busy at that particular time, but not necessarily busy enough to introduce another full time employee, in my view. I returned to work full time.
Since I've been back, there hasn't been much work for me to do and I'm not sure if I'll continue to meet and exceed my targets, now that work is being sent through to more of us. It just felt slightly demoralising to return to work and sit at my desk doing nothing for the first couple of days.
I know that on return to work I am entitled to return to the same job, but I feel that part of my job has been given away while absent and I've got less to do. Any views on this most welcome!
