Hi 👋, i am in the situation where my work really stresses me out. I am currently 13 weeks and now signed off sick for hyperemesis for two weeks but i am already dreading to go back. I have very unsupportive management and work colleagues and overall toxic environment where staff talks about each other behind their back.
We’re also super understaffed so workload is way too much. I basically feel like i keep running there like headless chicken the whole 8 hours of my shift. I obviously tried talking to my manager but nothing has changed much. I really don’t want to go back there. I also work shifts and weekends so there is no steady pattern. I can’t sleep at night due to stress and vomit when i am really stressed out but i really don’t know what to do. I cannot just quit because i worry i would not find any new job and i would also loose maternity pay. We’re financially tight at the moment. Has anyone else been in the similar situation?
