Hi, I work for the probation service. Up until recently I was in a nice little office as a case administrator. I always loved my job but in July I was signed off with depression, I didn't go back until October. When I did go back I found it hard getting back into it and wasn't enjoying being there. A new position came up as an NVQ administrator for the trainee probation officers in a different office so I put in an interest. Anyway, they chose to move me, which at the time I thought was great. The job is a lot quieter compared to my old one which, I shouldn't really complain about as the case admin role is a very hectic role, but its so quiet I feel like I'm clock watching constantly. I'm not enjoying being in a new office and I'm not keen on my new boss.
My partner says I should think myself lucky that the job is quiet and less stressful, but to be honest I would rather be busy than be sat clock watching!
In hynsight if I knew I was pregnant I would not have asked about the other role.
Its hard to explain but I just want to go in, do my job and come home now I'm pregnant, and learning a new job seeing as I will be off on maternity, seems a bit pointless.
I would feel happier being in the environment I know. Does that make sense?
I will probably have to change jobs when the new baby comes along as the hours I work and the travelling I do would not work out with childcare etc but I cant really change jobs now being pregnant.
Basically I'm not sure what to do, I was going to ring HR and explain how im feeling (im currently having regular meetings anyway after being off on long term sickness) i find it hard talking to my boss, or should I hang on in there?
Im really stressing about it! any advice???
