Hello, I need some advice. I recently went back to work. I’m a senior manager and I thought we had a very close team. Everything seemed to have changed and I felt that my team didn’t want me back. I had conversations with people to find out what happened but didn’t get anywhere. They all seem very close still but I feel excluded.
On my very first call back to work people didn’t even acknowledged that I returned after several months mat leave.
Ive been feeling rubbish every day and lost all my self confidence because of this.
Last week i couldn’t hold in any longer when 2 team members were obviously private messaging, grinning and nodding at each other during a team video call while I was talking.
I’d said that it made me feel uncomfortable. But now others also think they made me feel uncomfortable too.
Not sure how to move forward from here. I’m embarrassed that I snapped and don’t want to go to work on Monday at all.
Any useful advice please?
