Hi
I'm looking to put a flexible working request to reduce my hours on return post maternity leave.
I'm trying to decide between 2 options:
-8.30-5.15pm 2 days, 8.20-8.pm 1 day, and 1 weekend every 6weeks (no compensatory rest days).
-8.30-4.30pm 4 days a week. A late shift 12-8 every 1-2 weeks (instead of 8.30-4.30 shift) and a weekend about every 8weeks (with compensatory rest days).
This works out same number of hours. I would love 2 days at home with my little one, but unsure how tiring a 8.20-8pm shift will be. Would obviously have less commuting with 1 less day a week. (commute wih nursery drop off will take about 1 hour each way).
How does anyone that works long days find them? Does anyone have any opinions on my options above? Finding this such a hard decision. I would love 3 days on standard hours but circumstances mean that's not an option.
