Are any other HR people feeling a bit lonely in all this :(

Hi

Sorry its a self indulgent one.

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling a bit lonely?  I have streams of people coming in to my office concerned about it and asking what our plans are for WFH and sickness and about 101 other queries and being openly worried and I have to sit here and be the cabin crew and exude calmness.  Yet I am just as concerned as everyone else.

Managers and Directors etc look to us for calm, measured guidance and practical advice, and being so close to the 'inner circle' and hearing first hand the impact on the business etc.....very worrying, I'm feeling a bit forgotten about and just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same?  It just feels like sometimes people forget that we count as employees too?

  • I could've written this myself. I work alone Im the only HR person for a company of 117 staff, the Directors are looking at me for advice and guidance, the staff are too and no one is remembering me. Im also a Mental Health First Aider so Im being offered out like a counselling service. Its tiring and lonely. Im also a lone worker working from home so socially isolated on top. Its not a nice place at the moment
