Hi @Andy70and a warm welcome to the community from me!
Thank you for telling us a bit about your situation. Have you spoke to your boss about how your new role is impacting your health and costing you more?0 -
Hi @Andy70 welcome to the Community from me too. If you moved so you would not have to work alone could you mention this to your manager? As you have already told the Company working alone impacts your health and moved so you would not have too, it seems a bit unfair that you are.
Please take care of yourself.
