I'm due to go back to work after taking the full year off with my first baby at the end of May.
I was full time before I had him and worked mon - fri 9-6 and 1 in 4 Saturday mornings until 1pm.
I want to go back 2 days a week and have the two days together.
My manager informed me that business has decreased in my brand since I had left and they are over staffed, so not much need there for me now. However I have been offered another branch's two days a week.
BUT the days are Thurs & Fri and then Fri & Sat on alternate weeks 🤔 Saturdays are until 5pm.
I'm peeved that I've been offered the 'gaps' as I know they will be trying to put me where ever is short for them.
My dilemma is, Financially I do not 'need' to go back we could manage comfortably but I wanted to keep my hand in and it would be extra pennies what ever.
I'm not sure I want to work every other Saturday all day as I'm worried about missing family time with my husband and little boy as weekends are obviously time you can spend together and do family things.
But then if I don't go back and have some time out of work then I'm worried about getting back 'into' work again down the line 🤨
