Hi
I've tried to work as much as I can the whole way through my cancer treatment and although I've now been furloughed due to coronavirus, I'm struggling with the fact that beforehand I was 4 weeks away from returning to normal ie coming up with a plan to get back to a job I love.
Sadly, my second concern is that as much as people at work have tried to be supportive, my manager has also really upset me. It's been an emotional rollercoaster for both of us. I am now wary (would almost go as far as saying terrified) about sitting down together and working out a return to work plan. I feel this way because when I was working out reasonable adjustments with my manager and HR, I was so emotionally distressed (plus the fact that I generally struggle to voice my needs anyway with people as a result of a previous abusive relationship) that just went along with the reasonable adjustments made for me. When I finally stated what I actually wanted, my manager got angry with me.
Any tips from anyone about a return to work meeting?
Thanks
