So as the title says.
I work in a customer service call centre job and three months ago I went for a role I really wanted and I got it with a 6 month secondment.
This was a fairly senior role compared to my last one and I have been really enjoying it
I had a meeting last week and it was discussed that there were some important things I wasn’t doing correctly. fast forward to yesterday when they told me they were ending my secondment. I am a little bitter they haven’t really given me much chance to get the mentioned things right but at the same time I should have been getting them right as it was pretty fundamental stuff.
Anyway, I now have to go back to my old team. This newer role was very self driven and I got to manage my own time which has really helped my mental health and home/work life balance.
Going back to my old team means really micromanaged and structured days (do this many emails/calls a day and stuff)
My question in the middle of this rant is… how do I go back to this old role without feeling like a complete failure and being completely embarrassed that I failed my secondment?
I am going to hate having that rigid structure again and it’s gonna be hard to act like this is my decision to go back (which is how the company are spinning it so I can make up my own reasons rather than tell people I didn’t pass)
TLDR: failed my secondment so how can I go back to my old team without feeling like a failure?
