I went to HR today.
I told the chick that I didnt really want to stay in my current role and would prefer to be put back where I was. Of course then I had to try and explain myself and realised that it was hard to do this and sound rational. I may have come out of it sounding like someone that had just had a couple of bad days and didnt want to put in an effort anymore...I dunno. Most of it is in my head and in my heart. HR chick seemed to think that I'd probably be ok when we got another staff member and things quietened down a bit and yes these factors will probably make life easier but the damage is done. Also she doesnt know that Claire is resigning so there wont actually be an extra person after all!
Oh the other thing is that if I didnt say something to someone today then it wont be until next week and then it would just seem like I dont want to work there because Claire's going and thats nothing to do with it!
The catch is that HR is going to email my manager and I have to see my manager on Saturday as we are doing overtime so thats going to be awkward.
I hate that I feel bad about all this though...but thats just me... I've taken the first step now and I definitely felt better for it :)
