So I started a new job at the end of March in a nursery. I have worked in many day nurseries and a private school. I wanted to work somewhere with flexibility so I decided to change work place. Everyone is lovely and the job is more relaxed and not as pressurising as previous jobs and everybody does there part so it relieves pressure. I am deputy room leader, the room leader only works 3 days, so I am in charge the days she is not working. There has been alot to take in as its also a breakfast and after school club for the school children and all staff do different days and hours.
Some days I finish earlier than others and because the job isn’t pressurising I have had more time to put myself first for the first time in probably 7 years. This has had affect on my mental health and I have been very tearful and feeling down as I had more time to think and did not know how to fill my time. There was two days in June where I physically could not go in to work. Whilst I was off I received a message saying my probation period is coming to an end and a meeting will be arranged once I’m back. However, this did not happen but I thought it was because it was the end of the school year and we was very busy trying to get things finished and sorted and covering people who were on holiday. Saturday morning I received an email from my manager basically saying my probation period was extended due to them supporting my well being and a review meeting will be made and a confirmation date and documents will be sent over.
i am disappointed as this has never been communicated with me and to get this on a weekend when I am trying to relax and enjoy a spa day with friends, I feel is unfair. I sent an email back to say I was unaware this was the case. I am unsure how to feel but all I have been doing is crying since receiving this .
