Hi there,
I need a bit of advice please. I've started working in a new job - five weeks in and still in my probationary period. I have an office job and have a laptop.
My company is quite large, but I work for a smaller part of the business working in a tiny office with only 15 people. The majority are working from home, but my manager and about 5 others continue to work in the office. None have young children, however I do.
I live in a tier 4 area with some of the highest cases in the country. I have no idea what will happen with the primary schools in my area, but whatever the decision I'm going to struggle with childcare if I go into the office.
My co-workers seem to want people to go into the office despite the government's warning. I think they don't like working from home.
I can't leave my daughter with family.
I don't know what to do as I'm deeply concerned it's going to affect the outcomes of my probationary period.
I was going to speak to the Hr team to ask their advice but I don't want to look like I'm causing drama so early on.
Any advice please? 😬
