My line manager left just after I went on maternity leave and I don't know my new line manager very well yet.
I am six months into my maternity leave and plan to go back sept when I hope to get a nursery place. I have told work this.
My line manager keeps calling me asking if I have an exact date yet. I keep telling him I will know soon ( my nursery works on three months notice and i am likely to get a school leavers place) and will let him know as soon as I do. He is now saying he needs a date by the end of the week and although he hasn't said clearly, I think there I a veiled threat about losing my job. I have stated to him that our maternity policy says we have to let work know 8 weeks before returning, but I will try and do it before then, but he is not backing off despite me being quite assertive back on this.
Not that it should matter, but I am quite senior at director level. It is a FTSE 350 company, so should I talk to HR (don't want to be a troublemaker), tell him to back off myself and risk a bad start to our working relationship or give him a date and then change it as needed? So depressing.

To think work should not be hassling me on maternity leave?
