Hey SG lovers,
A quick update on my job situation since the last blog...
I was called in for a meeting regarding my future at work, since I've been off for the past 8 months. My employer was wondering if and when I might be returning to work, and I explained that I had no idea because at the moment I can't cope with busy places and have frequent panic attacks in public. Due to this, there's no way I'd be able to cope with busy periods at work, I used to get stressed enough during busy periods at work before the depression/anxiety kicked in...
Anyway, my employer told me that she couldn't hire another full time employee until she knew what was happening with me. Ergo, with me still on the payroll (despite my statutory sick pay finishing in January this year, and me earning no wages), she couldn't hire a replacement, and the part time receptionist can't work full time due to commitments at home. This left me with not much choice, because the way I saw it, it's not fair to keep my employer hanging on when I had no idea if and when I'll be fit for work.
So I agreed to resign, so that she can hire a replacement receptionist. It was a no brainer really, and I have to send in a letter of resignation asap. I know I should be feeling grateful, because it's one less thing to worry about in the greater scheme of things, but at the same time I can't help feeling lost. I've never been unemployed before, (it's strange to say that since I haven't worked in 8 months, but that was due to being unfit for dealing with customers) it's going to take some getting used to...
Sorry it's not the best update, I'll try to make the next blog more cheerful.
Take care and "Stay Classy" SG friends! *hugs*
