been a little stressed out

ok so have been a little stressed out lately, and shed heaps of tears when this first happened - i know a lot of people werent aware of it = and only going to write about it in brief but here goes...(and no I am not pregnant!!!)

I went on mat leave, then went back to another of our companies offices when Ella was 2 months to help them out! WEll for my trouble the boss from my office came over about three weeks ago to inform me that at the end of my mat leave there was no job for me to go back to and i was being made redundant - yes they can do that. My office is no longer doing the work i do and i was offered a job in the albany office in lieu = which they should do. Well Im not going all that way (we live east auck and albany is on nth shore) so am out of a job!

Anyways they then tried to screw me on my pay for a few weeks i was meant to paid for the other office work, and then offered to pay me my holiday pay in sept!!! of course i wont write my response to that here...but basically i said pay me NOW!

anyways now all paid...was quite a bit!!! have been interviewing and having to get DH to look after Ella while i interview etc - and no fun at 4 months post preggy to try and fit a suit so had to borrow a jacket!!!

anyways as of last nite i have a new job (fingers crossed as about to sign on dotted line) and better pay and future than where i left - so all turned out for best BUT OMFG i have been soooo stressed!!!! My hair is much greyer than usual!!!

Sorry to keep from some of you but was dealing with this on my own = and thank you to Katherine for letting me vent big time!!! I feel so much better today knowing my future is back on track...

Congratulations on your new job and hope it is close to where you live

Wow, nasty BS!!! Am glad everything has worked out (fingers crossed) for the better for you - you'll have to let me know where you're going now!! I'm facing the same circumstances at the end of the year, but at least I've been given a heck of a lot more notice. Congrats on the new job!!

BS sorry to hear that you went through that but glad you got a good outcome in the end hope the new Job goes well and good luck with it you must be really looking forward to that holiday now shop to you drop and have a great time.

Yay for getting a new job, but no yay for the way they treated you. Have fun on that holiday.

Glad things have worked out in the end but that wasn't very nice.

How stressful! But I guess at least when one door coses, another opens - good luck with the new position!

the new job is closer to home which is good.
I start towards the end of Aug which is perfect as i can settle ella into daycare well and truly, and I now feel a lot less guilty about going to oz and spending money that we may have otherwise needed to save if i hadnt have found a job!

a heads up that it was a possibility of redundnacy would have been nice pre mat leave but they didnt even give me that - and i kinda feel used for going back and helpling them out when I could have been sitting on my butt at home...some thanks huh? oh well....

I just couldnt bring myself to vent on here at the time...so sorry if i ignored any questions re work etc or refused to tell anyone what Katherine and Emma and i were talking about (Deb (GandT) this was it!!!)

Kate - will keep u posted no worries there!

I'm glad it's working itself out BS, but what a load to carry in the meantime

Possibly the stress has also helped keep AF away ...?

I'm also glad that the new situation is better for you, and Ella and BSDH as well - I hope you're really happy in your new job and you sooo deserve your holiday!

Now, go and see Terry - he will make all grey hair go away!

P.S. We all understand the need to seek specific support from time to time - we're just glad it's all becoming OK for you.

You go girl!!!! The new job sounds great. New baby, new start. Forget the other bastards and enjoy yourself!
