Hi @Caz1,
Hope you are doing okay now.
What i feel ive underestimated so far (im not yet back at work) is the beaurocracy.
Ive had to get a billion forms filled out to return to work and to navigate covid policies. My poor gp!
My employers seem to be struggling to work out how their systems can manage this. They are rushing to a finish line. My leave was supposed to end on 28/1 and they may have forgotten about the forms, i had to extend my leave a week so i could organise gp to get the things done. Now that week is almost done they are trying to sort a role and paperwork. Id mentioned to my boss that i wouldnt mind a couple of extra weeks off because i didnt have radiotherapy schedule and he forgot so now im adding another week leave to accommodate them only. I may say today ti them tell me when you think it can be sorted correctly and ill take leave till then.
They offered 2 roles. 1 seems really interesting but i think the timing for me is bad and i think its risky. Ive said if they can make it less risky id be interested. The other seems to be considered safer but they have no details yet.
Its exasperating.
