I needed that today...I am not feeling what you are feeling YET; I literally just replied to a comment that I am in the "What if it DOESN'T all work out for me?!" stage right now, and this post was the chink of light I needed 🦞
I've recently been told that being on maternity leave 'proved we don't need the full level of resource' in my team, and to keep my job safe I should take on a whole other function (which I have zero experience of and is currently failing). I'm afraid of losing my job but I'm becoming equally afraid if keeping it 😬
I probably need some extra psychoanalysis to fully understand where my intense fear of being fired comes from. Perhaps early career struggles, paired with finding myself solely supporting my family now. The fear can be so irrational. Such a good reminder to not let the fear make a worse employee of you, to keep boundaries as best able.
Yes to trying to exceed expectations. Also saying yes to everything. Went into an objectives meeting today and was very happy with tasks but at last minute managed to leave with large extra task when I have no idea how that’s going to fit into everything else!
