Have name changed for this as am very likely to get flamed (and don't want to out myself).
Before I went on mat leave I worked full time, but returned on 30 hours pw (0.8 WTE). This was 18 months ago. DH and I realised that the finances aren't really stacking up so I decided to go back full time. My manager agreed with this. I will admit that part of the reason is because I was ttc and knew the full time salary would come in handy. I use most of my annual leave on the day I had off anyway so not much change for dd.
I recently had my BFP and will be going on mat leave again at the end of the year. I know my colleagues will think I have only increased my hours for the mat pay (they will be partially right). I'm expecting quite a bit of stick for this!
In my defence, my workload has not changed at all (if anything it has increased) so I could've been FT the whole time hence in effect I have saved money for my employer over the past 18m.
So I'm sure We'll all agree IABU, but how bad is it? Do I deserve everything I get?
PS Does it make any difference if I tell you I work for the NHS?
