I have been working full time since the beginning of October as a PA/Office Manager. It is a very small consultancy, my boss being the owner/Director. He is a micro managing boss, something that I'm not used to and the role is becoming more low level accounts rather than PA/Office Manager. The package is great and it is only a mile from my home so really convenient. However, I am just exhausted. I'm a single Mum to two children and am really struggling with full time. That in itself is tiring but his micro management is making me on edge and I am losing confidence. My predecessor did a 18hr week, I am currently doing 37.5hrs. I would really like to reduce my hours, for my own sanity and for the fact I feel guilty about working full time and I'm missing my children :( but also feel that I could do my job perfectly well in 22.5/30hrs (3/4 days). Is it too soon to request this?
