STORIES OF AN INVENTORY CLERK

As a menopausal lady, work can sometimes be a challenge…

• memory loss,

• inability to process information,

• losing words and sentences,

• lack of patience

amongst other things are a now daily occurrence!

It is frustrating for someone like me who was efficient, and did not make mistakes very often to find myself making silly mistakes. With some Agents, you are only as good as your last job and whilst I have built up goodwill over the years, it won't last whilst I keep making mistakes. So, I am putting in procedures to help overcome the day to day admin.

My question is to the ladies in a similar situation…

…what are your strategies for coping?

• 0%I have someone I talk to
• 0%I'm open with clients about my daily struggles
• 0%I'm too afraid to talk to my clients about my menopause
• 0%I work with someone going through menopause also

I am very lucky in that one of my biggest clients is mostly female-led and the Deputy Manager is also going through menopause. We cover each other’s backs and have a good giggle about the nonsense that is 'menopause'.

I would love back from ladies in the same situation. How are you all?
