Losing my job


15 years ago 0 20 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I've been off work for just over a year and my union's contract says that if a person is off work for more than 12 months, their job will be posted and filled by another full time employee.  So my job was posted on Monday and when/if I'm ready to go back to work the company will have to find me another position in the same category as the one I left. 

I wasn't totally surprised by this turn of events but I'm having trouble deciding how I feel about it - sometimes I'm relieved as the job, & my co-workers, weren't terribly supportive but sometimes I feel a real sense of grief and loss.  This is the second job I've had to leave due to circumstances not under my control.  The first time was a lot more difficult because I really liked what I was doing but it was being made into a part time position and I need full time work to support myself.  

So here I sit, working to reframe my core belief that says "I'm not important" and I get hit with yet another situation that reinforces it!  Argh!!!  

Thanks for letting me vent!
