Went back to work in April so it has been over 6 months now. Before I went off I feel I was a well respected senior member of my department. Since coming back (part time)a lot has changed and I have had afew issues with sickness meaning I have had two absences already. I have had to do a lot of training aswell.
I just don't feel the same anymore. I knew it would be different as I suppose my priorities are no longer the same and I am now part time. However I almost feel like because of my absences and i no longer seem as on the ball as I used to (I often have to ask a lot and due to being part time and I don't always get all the messages) I feel like I'm abit of a joke. One team member in particular keeps making 'jokes' about my absences and baby brain. I'm finding it hard to decide whether he thinks he is just being funny or is trying to make a point as he is most of the time a nice friendly person.
I definitely don't want to leave they bent over backwards to get me part time hours. The reason for this was I felt I was well respected at the time. Now I feel I am letting them down.
Just wondered how long it took other to feel back to some kind of normal with their job?
