I currently work two jobs, one of which is lunch cover in a nursery so the rooms remain in ratio.. I have been here for about 5 months. I was off home earlier and my colleague said ‘get yourself off’ ‘yeah, we will carry on with our hard work, you go and enjoy yourself’. I know it might sound jokey but her tone was very serious, she looked a bit stern and she wasn’t smiling or laughing. I just sort of laughed and she just carried on going at it and not laughing along. The ‘hard work’ comment made me feel like they just think I have it easy and that I’m not really a member of the team. I often feel a bit excluded from conversations that the practitioners are having. I just feel a bit like a ‘spare part’ and that comment today just made me feel like they think I’m lazy or something for only working a few hours per day and that they’re picking up all the slack.
