I work part time for a small charity. Since I went on mat leave last may, everyone I know has left and the director has employed a new manager who is currently living with him. Half of my role has been covered by a temp, the other half by one of my former colleagues who has just left. I have had no contact with the director (wouldn't reply to my emails) but the chair of the board met me to ask me how I would feel about my role changing so that one half of it is basically lost and the other half is at a level higher than my qualifications.
I said it sounded like they were changing my role into one I'm not qualified for and suggested a settlement agreement on return for me waiving my right to return to work. I also expressed surprise that my boss (the director) wouldn't meet up.
The chair said he'd arrange a meeting and think about what I said. That was 3 weeks ago. I haven't heard anything and have non idea what to do next. Mostly, I want to know where I stand so I can start looking for work. I don't want to go back and don't think Id be welcome. Should I just tell them I'll resign and let them off he hook?
Background so as not to drip feed - boss was fine with me til I got pregnant, then belittled me and hated all my ideas and humiliated me in front of colleagues. I eventually went on sick leave followed by early mat leave because of the stress. Before I got pregnant he told me he'd fire me if I ever did. I have seen him do some seriously unethical things which I challenged but was always told it had nothing to do with me. Other women have complained to the board before about his behavior (sexism) but nothing has ever been done.
