I am in a job which I dislike. I am due to go on Mat leave in a few months, and was planning to have 6 months off and then go back (although have said to them that 6 months is not definite, I have said I am coming back)
however in the last few days I have been approached (very early stages) about another job, which wouldn't actually come about until next year at the earliest. They know I am pregnant and they are happy to wait for me. It could be described as my 'dream job'. Don't want to go into any more details in case I am recognisable.
AIBU to keep quiet, take my mat leave, and then resign from current job as soon as I go back, seeing out my notice and then leaving? If I resign during mat leave then I will have to pay back the mat pay.
Or could I tell them while I'm on mat leave that I have found another job, but am happy to come back and work the notice period to 'pay back' the mat pay? Perhaps this is better than telling them when I go back, as gives them more notice?
I know I need to look out for myself and our new baby but it feels a bit sly to not say anything for so long.
Thoughts please?
