I'm posting in this section for traffic really so excuse the slightly off topic thread.
I'm sure it's tiredness/hormones but I just wanted some feedback from (currently) working mums-to-be on their work place's plans for their maternity cover.
My HR dept is sh't but senior management have given them a kicking and they've organised a fabulous (on paper) person to cover my ML. I should be grateful they are so organised as my team have been in tears about me leaving (dunno why cos I can be a bit of a demanding cow, and I'm coming back in 9 months, geez!).
I actually have a 2 week handover period (again in shock at the sudden efficiency of HR) but I'm being stupid and am worried that this person is going to be so much better than me at doing my job.
I've planned out a whole 6 months worth of work for my team so they can really just 'press the button' and sit back as most things will run themselves. I guess it's a 'control' thing on my part so can you all please tell me to get a grip!!

Cover for maternity leave (at work)

I completely understand you! I think most of the work of recruiting my replacement will fall to me and I've decided I'll make them hire someone who can cover no more that 80% of the stuff I do. Evil, isn't it?
My work have said they're getting someone in to replace me, but not sure whether they're just getting someone in to cover my leave, or on a permanent basis 
makes me a bit edgy!
I do weirdly want to be involved in choosing my replacement though...I think in a way partly so I can make sure they won't be better than me!
