Hi ladies! I urgently need some advice! I'm a mother to two beautiful girls one five and one 9 months. For the last ten years I have been a care manager running a variety of services for people who have mental and physical health needs. As you can imagine the role is very demanding and takes a lot of my head away from me. I have been working at this level as my husband doesn't earn as much as me so my income has been the backbone of the family. I went on maternity leave last May and to be honest it was such a relief for once I wasn't instressful situations or managing staff who don't do their jobs properly. And I finally realised the reason I've been so unhappy for so long is the job really isn't me! It's highly pressured and has sucked the life out of me. I was also very annoyed and angered to hear that I've been back stabbed whilst on maternity by people who I had gone over and above for at work and supported both staff and some clients. My manager also left whilst I was on maternity and her job has been replaced by someone who appears to be tearing all of us managers work apart. To be honest I wasn't even happy before I went on maternity as I kind of knew the place was a real vipers nest with a lot of backstabbing. But what has hert is people backstabbing me whilst I've gone to have a baby. When I can honestly say I give me heart and soul to any job i undertake so I can't understand why people have been so nasty towards me. It doesn't help that my replacement was trying to prove himself as he wanted to secure a job in the organisation so tried to get a lot of people on side. In Jan I fell on some ice and dislocated and broke my ankle. I was due bk to work a few weeks ago but due to my injury I am unable to return. I've started to look for another job maybe something out of management but their doesn't appear to be much around. Me and my husband r looking to secure a mortgage at the end of the year so I really do need a ok salary but I'm worried that if I return to work I will get sick after all that's gone on. Any advice would really help me xxxx
