My wife started a new job while we were in Stage 2, she was offered a promotion and significant pay rise which helped us in the panel as well as being great (we thought!) for her career.
Turns out they are a pretty dodgy company, they make up results (it's an engineering firm), don't comply with health and safety regulations or even the law most of the time.
She's been offered her old job back for the same pay, it's also a shorter commute and they have more flexible working hours which will be good when our baby is placed with us.
However they also want her to start immediately which means she'll lose out on the paternity pay and paid time off for baby. She will still be able to take the time off (1 month) but it will be unpaid. We have savings so we can manage but it's not ideal, although in the long term will be much better.
She hasn't made the decision yet. Spoke to the SW who thought it would be fine. I'm a little worried about whether this will come up during matching panel and possibly cause them to question the match??
Panel is 1 week today!
