With my upcoming medical leave for a double mastectomy, my supervisor has been putting more on my plate rather than less. Iām so stressed and anxious for the surgery and now Iām also stressed and anxious to get all my work done before my leave.
My counterpart is useless. A total bag of hot air. Heās the most arrogant man Iāve met but with none of the skills to back up the attitude. Heās unable to do much of anything correctly which puts more work on me (a pre cancer issue) and also causes my blood pressure to skyrocket.
This counterpart also compared (more than once) his hernia repair surgery, which he took a whole two days off work to recover from, to my upcoming DMX. Once he did this in front of my supervisor (another male) and the next time I literally forwarded my supervisor the email in which I corrected my counterpart saying those surgeries are NOT comparable.
Still my supervisor sticks up for my counterpart, says heās coming from the right place and is trying his best. Theyāre both about 15-20 years older than me (Iām 31) and I canāt help but think things would be different if I had a female supervisor.
GAHHHHHHHHH
Iām getting so resentful towards them which sucks because otherwise I love my job. Obviously Iād like to do good work and get as much as I can done before medical leave, but the added bullshit is killing me.
I looove ābe a reedā! Thatās beautiful. What a wise husband you have āŗļø and youāre correct, work shouldnāt be a priority right now. I just have to keep reminding myself of that!
Iāve been thinking and hoping the anticipation and anxiety beforehand will be worse than the recovery itself, so thank you for sharing that! It makes me feel better. Iāve been so stressed I canāt sleep at night and was just prescribed an anti anxiety med to help with that. Just bought a mastectomy pillow like you described! Great to hear itās super helpful āŗļø

I have thought about going to HR or our female director (whoās a total badass) but I donāt want to cause more of a scene/issue just before I leave. Great advice about not going overboard & focusing on myself rather than the work madness..Iāve been getting too sucked into it for sure!
