Hi all
I'm looking for some work advice .
I returned from mat leave in August 2015. Whilst I was off my manager left the company (actually all my old colleagues in the marketing dept left in the time I was away). Since I returned I have taken on his role. They have not replaced him and are not looking to replace him and I literally have all his objectives and report into my old managers boss. I now manage 2 ppl whereas before I managed none. I am always referred to as leading my dept in work emails by other snr staff. And I do this All on 3 days a week so I do work long hours and very hard to fit it all in.
I raised this in my review and asked for a patties and was given a rather meagre 4% and no change in job title. I feel this is unfair as he was a higher grade than me, had a 'head of' title and was paid more. I feel like I am being taken advantage of and that my career is stagnating.
The only glitch is that I'm now pregnant again (16 weeks) and I have told work. At the moment it's not actually financially viable for me to come back to work with childcare and commuting costs. I haven't told them this and I am going to say that I will return, to keep my options open.
I feel like they know as I'm having another baby they will not reward me for my work but my worry is if I do leave my cv looks like I've done the same role for 3 years, which isn't true. I think I've been a bit too timid in asking for too much as I was grateful they gave me 3 days a week,- and in the back of my mind I knew I would have another baby, but now I'm really frustrated!!!! Any tips?
