hello, looking for any advice really.
Our dept was restructured 12 months ago whilst I was on mat leave, just after I'd put in a flex working request for part time hours at my old job. I was put at risk, applied for one of the new jobs created, said up front I needed it to be part time, and got the job (they employed someone else part time so we made up one full time employee).
Told yesterday the dept being restructured again! More people put at risk (most the same ones that were at risk last time). All the new jobs created are full time. How do I tackle asking for part time? - ie maybe on a job share? Should I be upfront about that's what I want? Or should I apply, hope I get offered it, and then raise it?
I need to try and get one of the new jobs, even if its to buy me time to come up with an exit strategy! After being told yesterday that there may be more restructures to come (as things "continue to evolve") i'm not sure i want to stay there!
