Employer making life VERY difficult.

Supposed to be returning from MAT leave in June, have childcare arranged and as a key worker they will still take my baby - excellent.

Had a team meeting with work this week to discuss going back and have been told that I have to relocate as my partner works on the same site as me - which has been known since I informed them we were in a relationship, however the policy changed in October (before I went on MAT leave). While we are on the same site, our jobs are separate and we are working in different buildings, have different managers and different hours. The different hours means I will need to do drop offs and pick ups to coincide with opening and closing hours.

So during the middle of a pandemic, with child care mostly closed I now have to find a new nursery, lose a significant term time deposit and start the settling in process all over again. Not only that, they have told me to find my own employment within the company - my head is exploding with all of this. AIBU to think this is an unnecessary ball ache!

I appreciate that this is a minor problem given the amount of people losing jobs!

Hi Tits, I hope you are OK. I read the most recent updates with my mouth open in shock and disbelief. They've taken leave of their senses!!! The only explanation i can think of is that your line manager has hacked the HR email. I truly hope that this has now qualified for defcon 5 with your union and they are representing you properly. Good luck. Xx

Thanks all,

I've moved over to employment issues with a new thread.

It's still messy but there's been some movement from the company - i think they've realised they've messed up big time
