Had my request for flexible working turned down on grounds that it would be detrimental to customer requirements as role requires full time presence. I appealed and they upheld their decision but did agree to a jobshare.
I've been looking for a jobshare partner, with their help and they have advertised the jobshare - but only internally. The deadline for me to find the jobshare partner is imminent. I asked them what options I would have if jobshare partner is not found by the deadline. They said I could come back full time, resign or resign on a career break. I refused to do this and said that as far as I understand it, they need to find me a suitable alternative role at same grade/similar duties and/or advertise jobshare externally.
They have not done this and told me today that my old role is still available but only on a full time basis and therefore, they expect me back to work, f/time on such and such a date. Despite knowing that I oinly have childcare for two days a week - hence my request for only two days a week etc. The union is involved but I would be so grateful if anyone else has some advice - surely this isn't right?
