I started a new job mid December, then it was Xmas shut down. Lost my dad on new years eve, & had to take a few days bereavement leave. Then on 14th Jan I was hospitalised with covid & pneumonia. Went back to work on 8th Feb, so only been back 3 weeks. Felt like I was starting the job all over again.
They extended my probation period today, mainly because of attendance, which of course they know is totally out of my control. I also need more training as I haven't even touched on some of the role.
I know exactly where they're coming from & its perfectly understandable. I have to start all over again due to the extenuating circumstances. Still feel very down about it & like it's a black mark against my name. Grieving isn't helping my mood either.
I'm being unreasonable in getting down about work aren't I....
