I'm returning to work soon after maternity, my dc will be 10 months old. My job covers large area and I am expected to travel to meetings within the area as required. Sometimes I can be away 2 nights a week for meetings.
The closer I get to returning the more worried I'm getting about prospect of having to travel and leave my dc. I'm bf and don't want to stop. My boss said they can accommodate me as much as possible, as they want to retain me.
Does anyone have experience with negotiating less travel please? I've put forward environment and travel costs also as a reason why we should be trying to cut down, but some travel is unavoidable. I'm a bit resigned to thought that I might need to leave my job :(
