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 just stumbled across your forum and found it really interesting. I am really struggling. I am used to an extremely busy workload, travelling/working from home/classroom training & webinars engrossed totally in my work, however I am still furloughed with no date of getting back to work. It feels as though Lockdown has eased, people are getting back to work but the people like myself who are furloughed and want to work are forgotten about. Just wondered if anyone else was feeling the same.

    Hi Gillian, Welcome to the Communities.

    I shouldn't worry too much about not being immediately recalled, they will soon discover that they need you as post-lockdown complications of who can/cannot work/come back to work become apparent. I also fear there might be a rapid "U-turn" if numbers of infections start to rise again.

    It is frustrating, but trying to keep "in the picture" is all anyone can do until the politicians, medical experts, and business SMTs have all stopped playing socially-distanced tug-of-war with the current situation.

    Meanwhile let's all be clear: We might have made progress on testing, but we have NO vaccine; NO cures, and NO reliable therapies, we also remain in the dark as to what the overall effects and long term complications of this horribly unpredictable virus is, So in spite of all the frustrations and desires to get back to productive work:

    ...STAY SAFE.
