I tried and wasn’t successful mainly bc transition planning took 2 months. Advice: I would try to stick it out until you’re out on leave if possible. Maybe pull back a little bit and try not to invest so much of your mental time into the account. Then as you start planning your return from leave, you have a little more room for options and can talk to your boss about a transition plan.
What’s the plan while you’re out? Maybe it will sort itself out and you’ll come back to new projects.
I would ask to come back to something else... but just wondering if anyone has asked before... it’s inevitable but I guess just not wanting to put myself in a position to leave on a bad note? But it’s catch 22... will be bad for me if I stay on it potentially!!
Haha yeah I know. It’s a complicated relationship. I’m a key person on the acct so not maybe as easy as just a rotation discussion... broader implications...
I asked to handover a piece of business at 7 months because it was stressing me out so much (not good for baby) and as I was due to go on mat leave in 2 months time I decided let’s do it now so I can help the transition too. Thing is, it’s got to go to someone else while you’re out regardless, so grease the tracks and get it done now.
Before your leave begins? I don’t want to seem like a whiner but I seriously can’t keep going - for my own health and frankly probably for the good of the business. I’m happy to keep going on my other accounts. The risk would be they have nothing else to give me I suppose and I power through. Part of me worries they’d have to let me go before I have my kid. Any thoughts of similar experiences and how did you handle it? I had already been thinking about a transition once I’m back from leave but not sure I can wait that long!!! 😞
Ask to be taken off it “until you get back”! It’s not worth the stress. Yes I know how you feel. I went out on disability a month early, but I also couldn’t deal with the drama anymore.
