Been at work for two weeks and hear rumours!

Hello all,
Just want to vent really and see what you all think. I managed to negotiate myself a 3 day working week (this was agreed for a trial period of 3 months). I returned to work two weeks ago and have been told today by my manager that certain people have been spreading rumours that since my return I'm 'off my game'! I discussed it with her and told her I have only worked 5 days so far and she said that I should exert my authority to quash rumours that I'm not cut out for it anymore!

I feel so upset and really feel like maybe Im not up for it anymore. Im trying so hard but fee like everyone is back biting and bitchy. Add onto that, I know that some are not happy because Im working a 3 day week (what they forget is that my pay has been cut too!)

Ive cried buckets tonight because I dont feel as strong as I used to...add onto that, my DS was so tired when I picked him up that he went to bed 10 minutes after I got home.

Can someone tell me if this will get any easier?

Sorry to sound so down and miserable but I just needed to vent.

Thanks ladies.

Thanks Dior. I really feel like Im just not used to all the office politics. i also forgot that I am treated like an agony aunt by anyone who has a problem at work (and its not like i work in HR!)

we have a new ceo at work and my manager is just looking out for me. the idea is that i 'get back to how i used to be' to prove to him that i am 'cut out for the job'! I just feel like i have a lot to prove to him and i dont even know him...and he doesnt know me!

i think everyone is worried that there will be job cuts and they are all fighting to prove something..this wasnt how i thought returning to work would be. i knew it was going to be hard but 2 weeks in i didnt expect this!

oh how true! thanks dior, you are of course spot on with that statement. i have forgotten how people can fake friendship to get ahead! im just not used to all the two faced behaviour...

its just a job, its just a job....

How awful for you

I would say it's impossible to ignore something like this.

Im back to work next month after a year off and am dreading it some days!!
