Hello mumsnetters just something I have to get off my chest. Have just gone back to work after maternity leave. I already knew my department was closing but have kept my brilliant team on the ball and producing excellent work for more than TWO YEARS while we've known this because we care deeply about what we do. And employer has kept dept. open until now in order to milk every last drop of profit from us. And we haven't hit back by leaking the news which would have been damaging to our organisatoin. Our work has been externally validated as excellent. And we've taken all the crp they can throw at us. But the final insult yesterday has kept me awake most of the night I AM SO ANGRY. Basically my boss is taking the work we've produced in the teeth of this attack and is going to pass it off externally as her department's. We will get no credit. And the reason? Because this department, that they don't need, is bailing out another part of the organisation which couldn't deliver what it had promised externally. So we are saving their asses from a very high-profile f*k up in front of national TV and newspapers. I don't mind saving their ass, although it is galling, but to have all credit for our own work taken away from us is the final straw. I should be spending my energy a. enjoying the little time I have with my baby and b. in lengthy preparation for two crucial job interviews next week. Instead I've been awake most the night fuming. How much more can they expect us to take? Are they trying to provoke us into resigning so they save a bundle on redundancy (will cost about £120,000 maybe for the whole department)? Should I burn my boats and storm out and take them to a tribunal? But where would that leave my team? And what would it do to my chances of getting another job? (I'm the breadwinner). Suspect tribunal wouldn't match the redundancy ... is v. good, 9 months money. I HATE THEM AND ALL THEIR WORKS.
