After my maternity leave I applied for part time hours and it was rejected without any attempt at negotiation. I've appealed it but am still waiting to hear and HR have said there's no timescale, it takes as long as it takes. My boss agreed a phased return so part time for 12 weeks and on my first day back I was moved to a different department (but the same directorate). I'm supposed to be starting full time in my original role in October unless my appeal is successful and although I keep emailing HR and my boss (who is a director) I'm no closer to knowing what I'm doing long term than I was on my first day back. If I can stay part time in this "temporary" role I will be happy and it's really close to home so I don't want to look for another job incase I could stay there (I've been there 7 years), but I don't want to be suddenly doing full time because I will have to look for something else. DH says I should stick it out for now and if I'm made to do full time go and see my gp 😔 I've never been off ill with a sick note but the not knowing and stress of what we will do if I suddenly have to work full time for someone who has made me feel so rubbish is making me so ill. I cry every day, we argue, I have headaches and stomach pains. I don't know what to do and every time I approach HR they just tell me it's all allowed. I feel like screaming how is this an ok way to treat someone?! Any advice would be appreciated. It's the NHS so I do have occupational health xx
