So it is my second week back at work and settling in is much more difficult that I had anticipated. All I've have heard since coming back is my boss saying how 'fantastic' and 'amazing' my maternity cover was and how she tried 'everything' to hold onto her. It does ping a little as the only way my cover could have stayed is if I did not return!!. She has said this on several occassions in meetings with my peers and seniors. Whilst I am truly happy my cover did a good job during my time away, I'm beginning to think that all this flag waving may cast me in a bad light. Before I went on maternity leave, my appraisals and feedback were extremely positive so logically I should not have any concerns about my performance and capability.
My self confidence has taken a knock. Has anyone had situation where their boss preferred the maternity cover??
I need some perspective or advice on how to re-establish myself.
