Return to work

Just wondering how anyone else would feel in this situation...

Before I got pregnant I worked full time. My manager always spoke of the future and said she would like me to become a supervisor of our department and move up. Just as I fell pregnant a new person started in our department below me. I trained her fully in her role and then also in my role to cover holidays. It was then decided this new person would be covering my role while I was on maternity. We become quite good friends and she opened up to me about her worry over taking my role then what happens when I return, I told her in confidence I wouldn’t be returning full time but would hope to return part time so she would be fine. Fast forward to getting closer to my return to work. About 2 weeks ago I was chatting to this person who is covering my role about my possible return, opened up about me being unsure if I even want to return and that my current manager had mentioned a part time role but I wouldn’t consider it due to the days etc. Now I’ve just had a call from my manager and that person saying the person covering covering my role is now my supervisor and will be dealing with me going forward and my return...unsure how I feel knowing the previous conversations we’ve had as friends and the fact that I trained her less than a year ago in both roles she’s done in the company..

You don’t want to go back full time anyway so I’m not sure what the issue is? You’ve been gone so someone had to fill your job and wouldn’t you rather be working with someone you like?

It’s so hard isn’t it. I feel pushed out of my company as nobody has contacted me in the 6 months I’ve been off!
