My boss rang 2 weeks ago in reponse to a letter asking for 2 weeks parental leave on the end of my maternity leave. In the course of the conversation she asked if I'd thought about how many days a week I'd like to do on my return, I replied that at the moment I'd like to do 3.
At the weekend we were doing the maths and realised, with a bit of help from my mum, I can work 2½ days.
My boss has rung this morning to tell me that she has spoken to the governors and they have agreed to me doing 3 days. I was a bit surprised as I hadn't really formally asked her for 3 days, it was only a 'thinking of'. Oh, and she's asked me to do a post dated letter confirming my request (her secretary told her she needs a letter from me before amending my contract, which she should have had before discussing it with the governors)
I don't want to give the impression to my boss or the governors that I'm messing them around but now I know I can do 2½ days I really don't want to do 3!
Can anyone offer any advice on how I can handle this situation?
