I've been back at work almost a year following maternity leave and I can't help but feel my boss wants rid of me.
He gave my job to the person covering me while I was off which was very difficult for me to accept when I returned and I was faced with her rubbing my nose in it, I'm excluded from pretty much any communication within the team, any responsibilities I did have left are slowly being taken away from me, my boss has even removed the phone line and my customers have to ask another office or email me to call them back. Im pretty certain I know who is behind it all (my maternity replacement who is now btw a manager.. given a job which nobody else knew about) I raised the phone line issue with my boss and I basically got a snotty response and was shut down on the subject.
My confidence Is getting lower and lower and I feel trapped, due to go on maternity leave again in may but I feel like I don't have much option but to return to the same place as I have hours I wanted and ok pay, I think I will find it impossible to find something else suitable.
I don't know how to play it with my boss, do I let him know how I'm feeling, or just put up and shut up? I feel like if I try and talk to him he will shut me down again and make me feel worse
