Feel SO out of place at work
Going back to do a KIT day has really made me release how much of a different person I am now after Mat leave. It sounds terrible but I didn’t want to have those boring mundane conversations, I felt quite trapped stuck in the same room for 7 hours. For context, I work in an office. I’m currently full time but hoping to apply for 4 days a week, with two being at home so this should ease how I feel but does anyone else feel this type of way? I used to enjoy my job before, now I am desperate to get out 😢 I don’t want to end my mat leave on a low but it’s really playing on my mind at the moment.

@Danni thanks! How’re you finding those longer days? As I’m probably going to ask to compress mine too. Luckily my working week is 35 hours so I’m hoping to compress maybe 33 hours into 4 days.
You’ll ease back into it! I hated being back at work for the first couple of weeks and wanted my free time back but I’m starting to enjoy it again x

Yes I completely relate, my first week back was dreadful, I was full of apprehension and nerves having forgotten so much. Plus not wanting to leave my girl. But after that first week I felt so much more relaxed. I dropped to 4 days but longer hours on the 4 to make up the money and it has been amazing, having that extra day off with her on a Monday means I get that full day just us so so it makes a better home/work life balance
