I have had two January babies 3 years apart, and work are not impressed.
My 12 months maternity leave expires on 22 December, and I'm pretty sure my manager is not going to approve any annual leave requests from me because I had last Christmas off (started my maternity leave early - 36 weeks pg - as they refused my annual leave request). My line manager has emailed asking which days I want to cover over Christmas/New Year, and stating she is expecting to see me on Monday 22nd December.
My team comprises me and three managers. We are office-based public sector workers (back office function).
I have accrued 20 days annual leave whilst being off, and only work three days per week, so really wanted to tack most of this onto the end of my mat leave before physically returning to work at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb.
What would you do? Try and push for annual leave over Christmas, or just suck it up and go in on the 22nd? I know they're not going to make this easy

Anyone else had to return to work over Christmas after Mat Leave?
