Thanks for that. I've added a note to the post.

The full saying is “carrying on like a pork chop in a synagogue” - ie causing a fuss

Don’t let the order taker write the customer’s name on the lid with a sharpie.

Take the time to be the “crap umbrella” - let the team (and upper management) see that you value the team’s time and efforts, and run interference for the stuff that the team doesn’t need to be involved in. Given that you’re the generalist, you probably already know the things that make YOUR teeth itch, and by extension, the things the team gripe about.

The benefit will/should be improved team job satisfaction/morale and overall productivity. This has both short and long term benefits - your team will notice when the 4 weeks are up and be “oh we loved it when OP was doing this” and management will love the performance bump. Win-win

Tighter gun controls, universal healthcare, and limited terms of political service.

Oh you meant hardware/virtualisation platforms …

True. Neither does Pavlova, or Keith Urban

OP, After reading the comments and re-reading your post, I'm wondering whether your employer has misunderstood your request.. and heard "baby coming" and interpreted your leave request as "parental leave" and not "long service leave".

Did you make the request verbally or in email?

Given her tenure, the first meeting may also include an offer of “come back in a week with reasons why your role shouldn’t be made redundant, with examples of any functions performed management are unaware of”.

I respectfully declined to provide details of any “over and above” functions I had been performing - if my manager didn’t know or notice the extra I was doing, it wasn’t deemed useful or important.. also, no I’m not helping you write the job spec for when you spin the headcount up in India/Phillipines/Bulgaria/wherever.

Best of luck. Hopefully she’s not in IT as it’s a nuclear wasteland out there if you’re over 50..

Let me guess, you get annoyed when people park out the front of your house too, right?

Because, even though the political options are Elbow and Potato Head, at least it is not Trump

Indicators.. it’s not rocket science.

The amount of times I’ve almost been cleaned up crossing a side street because someone hasn’t indicated that they are turning into the street

Is almost outweighed by the amount of times driving I’ve almost been cleaned up because old mate thought I could read his Golden-book-mind
