Isn’t it such hard work being a menstruating womanWhat's up sweetpea?
I am in a terrible mood because I am super bloated, my period is a dew days late and no signs of starting, so I've just been lying down for half an hour wallowing in misery

It's horrible, when you're held to a different standard to the rest of them, when you're just doing the utmost you can do. And then, they have the audacity to call you out on it, when you don't? Ha, no. Not how it works. They need to step it up, not you. They need to prove themselves, not you.Basically, the fact that in the last 9 months I've gone from being in work mode 24/7 (to my own detriment) to working when I am paid. My team don't like it. Someone said I want to 'do my job, then go home'. Don't we all?!
they are holding me to a higher standard than themselves and I know it is jarring for them that I have changed but everyone here is paid to a job and they do not need me holding their hand all day every day.
Do they not do the same thing...? Why is it a problem when you're not there?Basically, the fact that in the last 9 months I've gone from being in work mode 24/7 (to my own detriment) to working when I am paid. My team don't like it. Someone said I want to 'do my job, then go home'. Don't we all?!

Thank you lovely. I am just being sensitive I think because I am aware my work isn't up to my usual standard and others noticing makes me feel a bit ashamed, even though I shouldn't. I will look forward to your chapterIt's horrible, when you're held to a different standard to the rest of them, when you're just doing the utmost you can do.

You're allowed to do your job as it's advertised, and not a second longer than that. If you go above and beyond, that's your personal thing, and commendable, but not something others can just expect of you without doing their part, too.
I'm sorry you're having such a bad day, I hope to have this chapter finished for you to read soon. But until then, treat yourself? Chocolate, a bath, some good food... kitten cuddles. I'd offer Bae cuddles, but let's face it, he'd be stroppy, because we haven't given him enough attention lately.

What did your boss say?
Is it your TLs saying this? Or the more junior people? Without making it confrontational I think you need to turn it round on them - they're possibly worried or feeling out of their depth when you're not there, in which case they might benefit from some coaching?Thank you lovely. I am just being sensitive I think because I am aware my work isn't up to my usual standard and others noticing makes me feel a bit ashamed, even though I shouldn't. I will look forward to your chapterI might nip to M&S for some treats.
He says we have to clear the air at meeting next week. He was supportive. He knows there's two sides to a story.
The main issue I think is that now I have a work phone I am not contactable 24/7, but I ran a successful store with a capable team for years before whatsapp, they had to think for themselves rather than someone stepping in constantly.

Try to remove yourself from it and focus on what goes supposed problems are, because it isn't simply that you're not there or are rightly non responsive. Like if XYZ isn't happening, you all need to figure out why that is.
Does that make sense?
Will they be training again today?I’m sad everyone’s having a rubbish day!
I’m manifesting a topless bae/ or even a flash of abs for the weekend to give everyone something to smile about at the weekend

I think @Violetroselily put everything super eloquently already, more than I ever could. A meeting to clear the air is definitely advisable, and your boss is right to consider to have one. You work as a team, and if the team doesn't work, because of what I can only presume is assumptions and missed communication within the group, and especially concerning you, the work won't get any easier... you do deserve better from your colleagues, though, but perhaps that's just me.Makes perfect sense, thank you lovely
Yes, it's the TLs, but it's a little more complex in that 2 of them are training to be assistants.
They need to be unskilled so a lot of things I'd normally take control of are being passed to them and I am presuming their are resentful of this. I'm a control freak and it's not easy for me to let someone else take over but it's for their development. I think this has morphed into them thinking I don't do anything!
That is gorgeous! Could be a postcard.Come relax with me this morning (also just mentally, if you prefer). It’s too warm to do anything else.

I loved season two?!Series 1 bridgerton is good !! Series 2 is not
I just didn’t like kate is that her name hahaI loved season two?!
I don’t want to compare situations but I was not well for sometime (years) and didn’t want to go off work because I didn’t want my team or boss to know I was not well mentally. I thought I could just manage it but I couldn’t and it came to a head in June. I turned up to my PDR and just cracked. It was the hardest thing I have had to do to say “I need time off to get well”. My boss got it (to my suprise) and it’s the best thing I have done. People will suprise you. There is much better awareness.
I am back at work now and I can’t believe how much better I am at my job, more on it, actually enjoying it and able to support my team. That’s what has been a bit eye opening and now I know that even though it was so hard to say, it was 100% the right thing to do. I didn’t think it was at the time.
I’d assume so, but I’m not up with their comings and goingsWill they be training again today?
I know there's lots of sense in what you say.
It just feels like very high stakes to take the risk of saying something, even if I could physically bring myself to say it, when I don't know what the answer is.
I can't honestly say that a week or a month or a year off work would fix anything. Work doesn't exactly help matters but it's not the cause of how I feel, and if I was off I'd probably only feel guilty and embarrassed and ashamed and that wouldn't help either.
I will be OK. Always am
