How will I cope?

Ithurtbad · 18/10/2022 13:57

I had given in fit note and will be going back to work 31 October. I am 22 wks pregnant and suffer badly with fibromyalgia.

My manager announced quite suddenly he leaving last week and only found out yesterday that Saturday will be his last day. He also told me a couple of other people are leaving too.

We have a nightmare co-worker she really bad. My assistant manager threatened to leave too although he told me next year he plans on leaving. So I am trying to hang on until maternity leave. As I work in retail dreading Christmas period.

Any tips how to cope with a nightmare co-worker? My assistant manager a younger guy and she will just take over and he won't be able to deal with her. My manager told me I need to be strong when I go back. Very stressed already not sure how I will cope now he leaving very sad.

Struggling with my health but trying to stay on need the money but honestly can't cope with her.

Do you get maternity benefits with your job? Lots of places will be recruiting retail roles now so you could find an equivalent role somewhere else if you really can’t deal with her for a few months.

My phone messed up sorry.

I won't leave but I know I will need to speak up for me and assistant manager. Christmas is coming don't need her stressing out. I got fibro/pregnancy stress. We already have stress with the customers etc.
This will be tough and can't get out of it.
I need to get contact details of regional manager or other store managers.
If anything get her out before I leave as no one can work with her she vile.
