Hi
I'm new to all this but after reading other posts felt I should sign up and share.
I'm 25 weeks pregnant now and for the past 3 months have taken on the workload of my boss that left. There have been several redundancies and I'm now managing 3 people without any training. One person is extremely difficult to manage, very disrespectful and mouthy and another is constantly stepping on my toes only out of helpfulness. My manager isn't really around a lot so I feel totally alone, unsupported and very very stressed.
I'm crying just about everyday. My new role is "acting" though I get a monthly bonus. It was up for review end of Nov but now they've said I'll do it til I leave for maternity then I'll go back to my old salary while I'm off. I think this is unfair, I wanted a decision, I'm taking on a lot and learning new stuff only to not get a real answer.
Today I learnt I can't use my holiday when I get back as I wish. I'd wanted 1 day a week off to help with childcare but I'm not allowed to use it to reduce my working week. I just cried when I heard. I find it harsh that I can't use my holiday how I like. It's either that or take 4 solid weeks off in a three month period.
I just don't feel like I can cope with much more and wonder if the doctor might sign me off with stress? I've had several run ins with the difficult staff member and can't seem to handle anything remotely stressful anymore. It gets to the point I start feeling sick when I get upset/angry, right in my tummy.
That coupled with parking wars with my neighbours is just about sending me over the edge.
Hope someone is still reading and listening to me moan. Appreciate any advice/sympathy because I don't feel like anyone really understands me right now or gives me a break.
