I’ve been covering my manager’s special leave for the last year, and in August I will start the process of handing back to my manager and resuming my old assistant manager role. It’s fair to say that it’s been a tricky year for lots of reasons and there are things that I could definitely have handled better. I’m also quite angry about how certain things have been handled by the SMT.
I want to hand over gracefully and calmly, even though I feel like crying and raging inside. I’m not sure how honest to be about certain situations. I feel quite insecure about what my role will be going forward.
Does anyone have any suggestions from their own experience on how to handle this for the best outcome. I’m struggling for perspective at the moment.
