[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure you're documenting all of this.  The real punishing will happen when you return and someone from higher up asks why your work went untouched for 12 weeks and why you didn't make proper accommodations.  I've seen that before.

No one cares beforehand.  Then suddenly you're 6 weeks in and Roger in Tulsa hasn't seen a TPS report in a few weeks and brings it up to his supervisor who runs it up the pole until the story that reaches The Powers That Be is that you didn't do your due diligence before leaving.  [/quote]

The high likelihood of things playing out exactly like this is depressing.[/quote]

I'm the 10:41 PP and even though I made all necessary arrangements with my boss when I went on leave, this still happened to me.  So yea, it blows.[/quote]

NP, this happened to me too, and unfortunately I ended up having to resign shortly after returning from maternity leave because the manager who'd failed to deal with coverage during my leave despite repeated efforts on my part and extensive documentation of what needed to happen had screwed up one of our projects royally during my leave due to his inattention, and then blamed me to the client and senior management when I discovered the errors upon my return. I could see he was building a case to try to fire me for cause (both to give himself full cover and because I knew the truth about what had happened), so I gave notice before he could do it.

Hopefully that won't happen to OP, but if management is truly unwilling to deal with this at all, I'd be prepared to come back to a shitstorm.[/quote]

That sucks so bad, PP.  I was very thankful that when I came back and shit started to hit the fan, my boss went to bat for me and ran interference.  A director from another org tried to throw me under the bus and she went after him with a vengeance.  If she'd been at all passive about it, I would have needed to do what you did because that director had it out for me.  [/quote]
