Coping with change at work

PurpleFlower

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so apologies in advance if I'm not doing something correctly! 

I've been having some troubles at work this week. I've had a new manager (temporary), and I'm really struggling to cope with this change. This was very unexpected and without any warning, which makes it much harder to deal with. I find myself crying daily as I just can't cope and adjust to this huge change (luckily I work from home Sweat smile) 

I told my workplace before that I need warnings to adjust to changes, and the fact that they ignored that request makes it difficult to process as well. I talked quite openly about my autism and mental health with my previous manager but I'm not comfortable to do so with my new manager yet.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences and / or advice?

  • Hi I very much relate to what you described and I myself have fear that my manager will get changed. I face some unexpected minor changes like changes in procedures and what helps me cope is that I do my best to keep other things same. Previously I worked in a call center and there were so many changes everyday, I found myself crying in bathrooms everyday and couldn’t even name the reason but that was hell for me. But even now if it happens that someone sit on “my” place in the bus or a bus with a different layout comes and I can’t sit on my place, additionally a coffee vending machine is broken so I can’t have my coffee like always and then a new colleague comes and it’s my task to explain the procedures to them, then it’s hard for me and I cry. 
    my safe food and safe clothes help me stay sane (without stronger reaction). Yes it is bad when there is a change without warning. In my case I was informed in advance we gonna have a trainee, but it was still hard for me.
