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?

  • Thanks for sharing, its helpful to see a lot of us are in the same boat here.

    I am feeling exactly like this too. Particularly today I am really struggling. My work load is so high and I feel like the stress is getting on top of me and resulting in me being completely unproductive because i don't know where to start, then feel guilty for not being productive and the cycle continues!

    This is exactly how I feel, especially this week.

    I am back in the office so thought I would feel better, but trying to figure out flexible furlough, coupled with managers not communicating with me and now the announcement of redundancies, let's just say I am glad it is Friday!

    Hi Nicole,

    I wholeheartedly feel your pain!! Its so hard particularly when we are supposed to know all the answers. I'm struggling to think straight at the moment let alone answer complex queries around furlough and government guidelines/ risk assessments.

    Indeed, I wish I could say happy Friday but that wont be the case until my work day is done!

    By all means PM me anytime you ever want to vent, its always helpful to know we are not alone in this :)
