Hya Foxs lady,
I too just returned to work and had to fight for my job as work is restructuring and many jobs are on the way out! so my job looked pretty good to a particular person that was in it while I was off on leave...so I had 2 choices - roll over and let it be taken from under me or fight! Well I chose option 2 - TO FIGHT!!! you know why, because BC has made me tougher, more resilient and just damn stubborn!!!
Why should'nt we reclaim our jobs?? because we deserve them, we did them very competently before getting sick and can do them just as well as we recover or have recovered and why should we just roll over ...so move over anyone that thinks differently in my workplace as I just don't have time for you! I have a job to do!! Just move out of my way!!!
So you go girl and do your job to the best of your ability. strenghth and determination - you have earned that much! I am reclaiming my job as I think of all the pink ladies that cannot work anymore and I use every opportunity to promote BC prevention and early intervention...I have learnt at least that much! Oh and that I can be quite a handful if pushed into a corner!
