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 for starting this post.....I’ve been struggling so much recently. After working in Business Development and HR for nearly 30 years I feel as though I’m drowning with questions and demands coming from all angles I don’t have all of the answers to everybody’s questions .......being in a stand-alone role with about 100 employees and 25 branches is very lonely.
    My son is a paramedic dealing with patients with this awful virus every day and my other son is in Kabul...I’m stressed enough about them.......I can normally deal with pretty much anything that’s thrown at me but I’m finding it very difficult at the moment......I’m sorry to offload.....but thank you to all of you as your replies have made me feel as though I’m not alone......good luck everyone

    Nobody here is ever alone.

    Nobody has to apologise for offloading.

    I'm ex-military (RAF) and ex-Ambulance-service (from the very beginnings of the paramedic days) There's a private messaging facility on site, feel free to use mine if you need to.
