Suggest I stay?

I resigned about four weeks ago and am due to leave next week. Unbeknown to me another person of my level resigned at the same time so they have been interviewing for two positions. I am part-time she is full-time.

Initially I was completely relieved but I had latterly been starting to regret leaving. But I decided I was just demob happy.

Then today I found out they are having huge trouble recruiting because the contracts are only until March (like mine was).

Is it worth offering to take back my resignation? For context my work has been fine, no sick days etc. I didn't resign for reasons relating to the job. Well, OK, I had some gripes but I didn't disclose these and it wasn't the main reason which was family related. (The job just came a bit too soon for my stress levels). But obviously I am now thinking they'd tell me to sling my hook then laugh at me for being ridiculous.

Would you consider the part time role?

You could have the conversation. They may be grateful to retain one person in role at the moment.

However I would suggest you be sure first if remaining there is the right decision for you. What were your plans, ie did you have another job offer when you resigned?

Thank you for the advice. I had the conversation and they were delighted. We have also addressed the work gripes so I (hopefully) get more out of the role as well as home balance. Result!
