returning to work from sick leave
Returning to work after sick leave can be fraught with difficulty especially if you have had a reasonably long absence. It’s difficult for you because you’ve been out of the office and feel like all eyes will be on you when you go back and also you may have to deal with lots of questions from colleagues and your line management about why you have been off sick.
Sometimes returning to work after sickness can go badly wrong. You find that your job has been given to someone else or that many aspects of your job have changed without any consultation with you. Sometimes you just get the feeling that something has changed and you cannot put your finger on it but you feel uncomfortable. This is particularly the case if you are returning to work from sick leave due to mental illness. People tend to be more sympathetic to conditions like cancer, a heart attack, a hip replacement. There is still too much stigma in the workplace around mental health.
