Amy - I know it's just thats it's so snipy in here now that there will end up being comments made about my reputation when I come back and it would apparently jeopardise my chances of securing a P/T admin role instead of my F/T sales role....
I think I'll sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow
Glad to hear they got put back in their box! Hope that made you feel a little better! Yeah im with the others if you can get a medical certificate they can't say anything, if your DR will give you one, finish on Friday and rest up! You don't need the stress or the drama!
Hmm I think they have to give you back an equal position to what you had prior to going on mat leave. They're not allowed to penalise you for taking mat leave.
I wouldn't worry. Take the leave and finish up without the stress.
DD, if taking assertive action really is going to come back on you in a negative way, then perhaps it's time to move on to another organisation. 2 years is plenty of time to find another, more woman-friendly job!!
Don't worry about all that now, management could change in that time, your job could be restructured, etc, the future will take care of itself. You just need to do what's right for You right Now!
DD - I understand your concerns with what will happen when you come back but realistically how many of them will still be there in 2 years time, and if you are stressed and it is making you sick then take the week sick leave. To relieve the "blow" for them you could request a meeting w your manager for this week to do a performance review and development plan so they can see that you are being pro-active and still being a "company" person IYKWIM.
(For what it's worth when I was due to go back to my mgmt role in a large retail organisaton after 2 yrs ML there were very few in that location who still knew me. The decisions were going to be based on my performance reviews for the 12mths prior to my leave, but I actually resigned prior to the plans being implemented.)
