Currently on maternity leave and was called into meeting at work today, basically given the ultimatum to go full time (currently part time) or my job is at risk of redundancy. Demand on the team have increased hence why they need a full timer. Theyve already made another part timer redundant in another office after she was given the same option and declined going ft.
The ft job is sold as slightly more senior and would be a challenge for me (which i know i wouldnt recieve support for - been set up by manager before to fail if you see what i mean!) although they've worded JD to include a lot of my skills. But FT hours which i didnt want, also travel accross uk which would be increasingly difficult with two children.
My manager didnt have any figures to review in relation to ft salary / redundancy pay but said to go away and think about it (all very vague!). Feel like im being blackmailed into working full time (pt hours are hard to come by in the industry), but in all honesty feel they are trying to get rid of me (had difficult relationship with mgr over years - bullying, grievance raised, had problems when told her i was suffering with anxiety due to her demands on me etc). Told it will be a settlement agreement rather than redundancy (normal in our industry) so ill have to wave goodbye to any claims of unfair dismissal etc so im concious of everything i need to consider before progressing.
Flowery i know your well respected here and would appreciate any advice, likewise from anyone else who is able to help. Hate that i have this lingering over me while im on maternity leave 
Thanks x
