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?

  • Hi

    I am having a bad day today. Feeling worthless and useless. Normally I am upbeat and positive but having been looking for a new role since January, feeling it wont ever happen. I am doing proof reading for free for some of my LinkedIn conections and I have been inputting historical written weather data in a digital form online to help for free but still it is not enough. I am bored out of my head.

    I hope today is a better day, and I'll bet the people who you are inputting data and proof-reading for don't consider you worthless or useless; not least as you are (self-evidently) someone who is prepared to put yourself out for others, even without payment. We are going to need a lot more people like that in the weeks and months to come as CV19, Brexit, Trump-ism and all the other long-term effects of national and international issues we are faced with become apparent and need resolution.

    The sharing of support from colleagues here, both personal and professional, is there to both reach for and contribute to (as you already have, over three-hundred times). You, and what you share, have value and much to offer, not least in offering new avenues of diversion to explore: Inputting historical weather data? Does that mean we're putting in a bid for an improvement grant from the Weather-Man?

    ....Last time we did that Micheal Fish sent us a (not) Hurricane!

    Tell us more.... :-)

    Your lovely kind words have brought (happy) tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

    Oh and I remember Mr Fish and his infamous 'no hurricane Mrs Smith' prediction hahaha

    I have just been inputting more historical weather data and saw I have done over 500 lots of 12 month data from 1880 uo to the early 1920s. Really therapeutic but I need to get.out more....oh I can't can I? Back to it then....

    Oh and here is the link just in case anyone else would like to have a go!! There are 65,000 pages of weather data and it is about 53% completed.
