[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is going to do your job while you are on leave?
That's who I'd be concerned about. 
The first time I went on leave, the person who did my job ended up keeping some of my duties. The second time I went on leave, someone was promoted into a position that made my position redundant. At the end of the day, I landed on my feet but you are right to be concerned. [/quote]

Agree with this. I could take 5 months off at my organization and my employees and my boss and a few other folks would cobble something together but I know none of them would be scrambling for my job. OP, in your place I would only worry if you think there's someone who would try to completely take over while you're gone. Otherwise, people do go on maternity leave, people get sick with cancer, people leave and visit family overseas for 2-3 months ... It happens. I wouldn't stress too much about it and just be ready to do a good job when you get back! Which is easier said than done![/quote]

Thank you, this is helpful. No one will be jockeying for the position and I'm not worried about being made redundant. It's more psychological for me. [/quote]
