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

Samantha

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?

    Thank you Peter - I think they're genuinely trying to help me as I have a young child but my husband is also home so I have a lot of capacity to still be at work. Today is my last day, I've just finished sending all the Furlough letters and I'm feeling oddly emotional about it all!

    I think we all are Rosie. I know I have been both moved and shaken by some of the issues raised both here on the "Community" site and by the colleagues I still mentor (in spite of being supposedly retired) :-)

    Some enlightened good practice by employers dealing with the almost unbelievable, but also maybe some b*tts to be kicked for short-sighted opportunism and thoughtlessness.

    Lot's of interesting lessons to be learned, hopefully to move us forward as both professionals and as a working Community (here and Nationally) when the dust settles.

    In the meantime you and your family (and anyone else reading this) stay safe.
