Survived my first day back at work today but some good and bad to come out of it.
Someone on "team" resigned so some of those duties are going to fall on my shoulders and I'm not sure if it's possible to get work of that nature accomplished in my work environment which is very open plan.
Second thing that's been asked of me is to work off site twice a week which means making multiple trips during the week to do that and it's only for an hour offsite which irks me more since I can't begin or end the day there which would make it much better to stomach.
Guess I may have no choice in either, point 1 I'll bring up that I can only do what I can do given my workload and concentration needed.
Point 2 I'm not sure how I can negotiate that or come up with some sort of compromise.
I'm absolutely hopeless with negotiations but it certainly sounds like you deserve some compensation for all this extra work.
Itโs still up for discussion at the moment depending on what the time table looks like but I may only have to do 1 day now offsite and Iโll be afforded some extra liberties as well such as taking my time and running some small personal errands if Iโm out and donโt have to travel too far.
Will see how it goes after the first couple of weeks.
