Things are different at work

Marie

Maybe it’s just me, but has anyone else been feeling like things have been different at work since returning from your maternity leave?

I’ve always loved my job and I had worked there about 2 years by the time I had my daughter. I took 10 weeks off and returned about the middle of May, but I returned at a part time level Monday’s Wednesday’s and fridays. Ever since I’ve returned things have just felt different. Since I’m part time I feel like I’m out of the loop a lot of times and I’m not told things that I should know. Also the person who I thought was supposed to be helping out when I wasn’t in on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, now isn’t supposed to do stuff for me and so now I have the same amount of work to do but I have to do it in 3 days instead of 5. I also feel like I’ve been treated differently by members of our management team(I’m also a manager) I feel like people have been talking down to me and I just feel like my boss doesn’t like me very much, and hasn’t been happy with my work lately. Idk if it’s just my postpartum hormones or what it is, but I just don’t like my job anymore. If I could quit and be a stay at home mom I would in a heartbeat but that’s just not financially possible right now, but I’ve also worked so hard at this job I don’t want to just give it up.

Anyways im mostly just venting, but also wondering if anyone else is struggling going back to work as well?
