Another employment question from me!
I've had a letter from work inviting me to a meeting to discuss my role. Long story short i work as a part of a team of 3 cardiac nurses in A&E, we've been in post for 11 yrs now (working in, but not funded by, a&e) and over the last few years our role has been pretty neglected because of other pressures on the dept.in fact since i went back from mat leave after Teaghan i pretty much functioned as a resus nurse, not in my own role. Anyway we have a new manager who hasnt really a clue what we do as she worked elsewhere before coming over to us. So now she has arranged a meeting with us to discuss pur role and probably implement changes in the way we function.
My issue is obviously i'm on maternity leave, officially until 6th jan next year. I know it is my responsibility to keep up to date with whats happening at work but shouldn't i expect some respect from work with the fact that i have a new baby? I am breastfeeding him up to 2 hrly still during day. I have never expressed for him, and frankly i dont really want to. I know i may do in the future but hadnt intended to until he can drink from a sippy cup.
I will ring my boss on monday to discuss it but just wondered if anyone had any hr experience or been-there experience so i have better grounds for my discussion on monday. I want to be involved especially if our role is to change but i dont want to be seperated from Caelan when i am officially on mat leave, just for a meeting at work. Ive not been away from him for longer than about 45 mins.
Any thoughts gratefully accepted x
