Feeling really deflated this afternoon about my work. Long story short is that I'm on my 5t soh week back to work after a 12m maternity leave, my manager agreed a 20 hrs contract to be worked over 3 days. A colleague had agreed similar as she is also just back from maternity leave also.
Today we were both called into a meeting with get dept manager and deputy manager and (no notice given) and told we're not flexible enough and I now need to do 4 days. I appreciate it may be worked a business need but could they not have decided that in the year I was off (un replaced no mat cover)?!
My chosen childminder's who I've spent ages settling 3 kids with has no more spaces and neither does the only other miner in the village that drops off at my sons' school.
There wasn't really an alternative presented in this meeting so the only option I can see is handing in my notice, which I am a bit miserable about as I like my job and the money is useful to say the least! I'm a hcp so could do agency or bank work but it still throws up the same childcare issues.
