Mumsnet Talk

i started a new job within the NHS recently. i was told that when another member of staff retired i would be able to pick up another shift,(5 hours) as its part time and i needed more hours, which i was upront about from the start.

today the manager totally back tracked. offered me a poxy 2 hours extra, which is going to be spread across 4 days. am tempted to say i'll stay on the 3 days ive got which are less strewn about in terms of working days iyswim...

thing is ive just found out ive got into the police.

so - do i accept poxy hours, keep quiet and not feel so guilty when i say im leaving to pursue a full time career as a police officer?

or do i challenge it because theyve backpeddled on what they agreed on? if they start to alter things on my account then id feel really really guilty when i hand my notice in to pursue my policing....

what to do!

should just add that although ive got into the police, it could be a year or more before i actually get a start date....

no one....bugger! guess im on my lonesome with this one then...me and work just dont mix!

i think ill just retire until i get my start date for the police. ( i really wish i had the cash to do this!)

this is my last shameless bump...i can take a hint you know! lol

First one - keep quiet until you start with the police, although I'm no expert..
