I am worried. I just returned from leave this week.
They hired a temporary worker to cover me while I was gone for 6 weeks on baby leave but she is still here. They decided to keep her with no end date.
What does this mean for me? I have been with this company for 12 years. What does this mean? My husband thinks I should start looking for another job. With two of us here my job is redundant. I’m freaking out.

That happened to me after a medical leave. Just to be safe, I’d start looking. Not to scare you, but they may decide to keep the other person if they make less money doing the same job.

Yup. My last job hired another coordinator as backup and they asked me to train her and they ended up letting me go because she was making a little more than minimum wage while I was making $25/hr. After I left, I told her how much I was making in that position just to spite the company.

I agree. It's time to hunt. They could also be watching you work side by side to see who is more efficient, etc, but it always comes down to overhead. If you're able to make it so you be at home with baby, do it. Even if you find a work from home gig. I know that's not possible for everyone but if you can, do it. It's wonderful to watch and teach your child as they grow.

I try and be hopeful that maybe they were just impressed with that person and want a spot for them at the company. But I also know the reality of when my father went on a leave for cancer treatments and they kept his temporary help and let my father go after he returned. Definitely look for something.

I would definitely start looking but why not be direct as well and ask them what their intentions are with the temporary hire? From your understanding they were brought in to cover you and now your back. Should I be concerned?….

The same thing happened to me. Two months later I was out on redundancy grounds, The person who was brought in as part-time still works there. I will advise you to start looking for another job just to be safe. Best wishes

I would totally freak out as well, yes start looking just in case you never know. They could have other things in mind but it seems they are not communicating their plans to you. Good luck

SO moved in, however they aren’t as organized (an example is closet, my clothes are neatly folded and kept while theirs are mostly a pile of rolled up clothes). It does upset me and for some reason comes across as lazy which it may or may not be. We have had one minor chat and they saw it as ‘house rules’ and were worried there may be too many rules.
