I am really struggling right now with my HR career. I am about 6 years in and have primarily been in a Generalist role.
Last week we had an unexpected employee death who the week prior was put on a PIP. I am taking it really hard and am really struggling with how much HR impacts lives.
I’m at a company that HR doesn’t have a seat at the table, we are often the last to know things. My team tries and cares but the top leadership makes to painfully obvious that they don’t consider us.
TA is a big part of my job and I feel unmotivated. It’s just a revolving door that I sometimes like but am usually procrastinating because it’s so draining these days.
I love working and supporting managers and our employees. I’ve done some really cool things and don’t want to leave all that behind but it’s been a heavy year..
I am also a new mom and have a lot of stress in my personal life too.
I can’t tell if this is just a season or if I want to make a change. I would love any advice or hear experiences on how you manage the life of being an HR professional with all the good and bad it comes with.
