About two months after returning from mat leave I put in a request for flexible working. Lots of discussions with HR followed, in which they mentioned they could drop the requirement for me to repay enhanced maternity pay should the request not be allowed and I would decide to leave.
I told them I would be interested in leaving but could not resign at the moment since we're in the process of buying a flat and I don't want to jeopardise our mortgage agreement.
This clearly fell on deaf ears cause they simply went ahead and have hired someone to replace me. I am still not ready to resign as we've still not completed on the flat.
Now that they've realised they've made a mistake and can't afford to have two of us doing the role the threats have started, ranging from 'you must resign today' to 'we will reduce your hours'.
Am I right in thinking there is nothing they can do to get rid of me? They can't make me redundant as they've hired someone to do my exact job. And they can't terminate my contract or change my hours unless I agree.
Thanks!
