Not sure if this wants to be on employment issues but Admin feel free to move if necc ? Ive been in current P/T position going on 5 years now & other than having occasional cover to look after my kids ( 3y.o & 6y.o ) I work every other Saturday am. Salary barely enough to cover basic bits , my o.h is in a good job & supports for me & both kids etc ( thank god !! ) Ive recently therefore volunteered my services in Feb this year to start a P/T maternity leave cover one day per week. Better salary because of increase in hours ! From the outset Ive stressed to all staff including line manager that I hadnt expected anything to come from maternity leave but happy if it did ( secretly hoping !!) , OK so employee coming back in Early January to resume her job, 2 months ago I was approached by Co director saying they had created a job for me working p/t split shifts at another branch around school runs etc 5 mins from my home !! - thought great FINALLY at last my dream job !! , then 2 weeks ago director comes back t me saying sadly they haven't got the budget to improve branch to accommodate me there now but will have in future ? as they have doubled staff numbers & done various building improvements to current workplace - I'm gutted to the least ! The working every other w/e was fine to work whilst I was sahm with very young kids but not enough hours anymore to, so what do I do jump ship to look for something else or let them dangle me on a string until they get their act together ? I'm torn & cant see whats best to do , such an akward time of year in my industry to be looking for new employment full stop !
