Currently on mat leave; I have a KIT day next Wednesday as we have a department meeting, but I will be staying in the office most of the day so from 8am until 3pm-ish. The meeting is an hour long. I am quite senior in that I have a team of people working for me, and I have been checking emails (just for information and to keep my knowledge up, I haven't been acknowledging or responding to anything) throughout my time off.
I have remained in contact with my manager and we are on good terms. We had a telephone conversation last week when we arranged the KIT day, and I said to her that if theres anything she wants me to do, help out with or be involved in when I come in, then I would be happy to. She didn't say anything. I sent a quick email to her about something else and reiterated this point but didn't really get a reply. My role is currently being performed by a consultant (my maternity cover).
I'll be taking my laptop with me and plan to check emails, check in with colleagues and so on but what is the etiquette (!) of a KIT day when you're not just attending a meeting & going home? I suppose my AIBU is to not know what the hell to do for 5 odd hours when I'm back in the office!
