Hi
It's late at night here in Oz and I can't sleep because I'm worried I have put my job in jeopardy. Today I sat down with my bosses and requested a reduction in my hours (ie: from full time to 4 days per week) as I know I'm struggling to work full time. I'm constantly stressed and upset and really paranoid I'll get the sack if I don't do all my work. They seemed fairly ok with it (surprisingly they did not ask why but took my word on face value that I have doctor's advice to reduce my hours) But then I think I blew it by requesting the new arrangement be formalised in writing if they were agreeable. One of them suddenly cut the conversation short and I'm now very concerned that I have offended them by asking for this. Am I being paranoid about this? We have a good relationship and it's a very close office atmosphere so the last thing I wanted to do was upset them... lately I have found I'm not trusting anyone lately - is this part of BP? I'm so insecure. I was thinking maybe I should buy them a small plant as a gift to say thankyou for listening to my request and to ensure that I haven't offended them.
What should I do now....just sit and wait to see if they will agree or look around for another job. I'm very confused I'm seeing my T and doc this Fri. I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with this and the stress I'm feeling.
