Question to Ask the Workplace Doctors about being marginalized after returning from maternity leave.
I have a colleague, who was hired as my assistant, when I TUPE’d across to my new company. I co-signed their contract on behalf of the company before going on maternity leave under the instructions of my manager, who also told me this colleague would be the person he wanted to cover during my maternity. I trained and got all the starter paper work sorted for this individual before I left for my leave, at which point the relationship between us was very good.
