I returned to work at the end of Jan 2009 after maternity leave and I have over 10 years service with the company.
I requested part time, 4 day week, in the role which was a promotion and it was accepted. I thought on trial but the letter made no mention of a trial.
Since I have been back I have physically been in the office for meetings for about half of the days I am meant to be in. On the days I am not in sometimes I take calls. I always end up working almost every evening. In effect I am working full time and being paid less (although I do get the days I am in paid).
I asked for additional resource to cover some work, which was initially agreed and then challenged at a higher level. I finally got the resource this week after about 3 months. And the resource is not at the capability level which will invariably mean I am doing more to coach and train.
I also think I am starting to make mistakes.
What is worse is the effect on my resilience and my home life. The stress has caused real problems for me.
I have flagged to those more senior that I can't carry on like this and I think they believe I should just go full time.
I am now at the end of my tether and am thinking of resigning next week.
Do I have any rights? Is this a redundnacy situation or is it just me leaving.
