I need to verbalise it, because it IS a problem…and realistically, I’m probably very well placed to mention the concerns of the whole team, given that “finding the KPIs unrealistic” would be down to an identifiable medical issue in my case and they supposedly can’t penalise me for that.

But lordy me, I hate to play the “please hold me to different standards than my colleagues, I can’t do it!” card. I was really, really proud of not being judged by different standards until now. I was genuinely proud and happy to know that I was “good enough” and deserved to be there off my own effort.

And now I have to swallow that.

Play the senior staff seconded elsewhere card as hard as you can.
