MG thanks, I have made it quite clear that I wont tolerate his behavious & pressuring, bullying me & have let the relevant ppl know & after my meeting today (actually about 10 mins prior to leaving) he called to say My boss had said I was uncomfortable with his tone with me so he spoke to me & over the phone it allowed me to closemy eyes & picture someone else & say what i thought & he accepted it apologised & said he is passionate about his job, I explained that by bullying & yelling at me I was less likely to assist him, I explained that trying to pressure me into making a decision outside of my authority was not gonna happen ever... He accepted that & asked if we can work together to get the assistance from other roles to help both our areas! I agreed (half heartedly) I didnt tell him I took it to HR & Management... so will see what next wk brings, but I am glad he did apologise.

But to be honest regardless of him or not a few wks ago I decided I wanted to do afternoon/evening work, so I can be home with my 2 little bundles of joy, able to take maddy to school & pick her up etc... So with him here or not I'd still have requested varying hours!!

Deb I made it quite clear in my meeting this afternoon that if I did accept my same role but from 5-12 I would not EVER come in outside those hours, as I am making these changes for my family & he wholeheartedly agreed & siad he'd personally make sure my contact details were no longer on the sites after hours contact list, I explained that the extra responsibility I am currently dealing with doesnt appeal & I do not want to be contacted even if the factory urgently need something!!! He was fine with that! I am going to ask for an extra $10k-$15k a year, mind you we get a bonus & payrise in Feb so I will want that on top of my already payrise!!!

DH has said he is fine with getting kids off to bed, I told him we need to make this decision together & he said he just wants me to be less stressed & happy! I told him I'd be returning to work whilst Maddy was still on school hol's so it wouldnt be so bad I can ease myself into it... But I guess I will know when they come to me with the next proposal...??


Kirsty... Hee hee NOt sure I wnat to swap jobs, I dont wnat to work at all!!!

Jane,
I did end my spiel with I would prefer no respomsibilitry & just 8-12 is probably my best opition... He knows it's what I want, But there are so many more perks by being in the office role with bonuses, payrises & free tickets & stuff to various things, I just wnat to be home with the kids & so I guess when they make an offer I can decide from there...? OOOh It's exciting to think I can request something for a change!!!

Thank-you all for your help, keep it coming!!!
