Things can change in 7 weeks. If you like working there, don't resign yet until the 7 weeks is up. A part time job may still come up in that time. Also. check up with the union on their advice adnd your entitlements.
Have you thought about or suggested a job share situation to your boss? My job also needs to be full time, but when I was returning to work I discussed job share and luckily for me, the woman who had been doing my job whilst I was on maternity leave also wanted to work part time.
Just another idea to put out there, I know there are a lot of other people out there who are after part time work so I am sure you would be able to find someone to job share with.
I was also going to suggest asking your boss about possibly job sharing. We have it at our work- its very popular and usually suits everyone involved- employer and employees.
My boss did suggest job sharing but unfortunately person they have in there needs & wants to work fulltime.
I hated my job before I got pregnant and was on the verge of leaving, having the time away from it I'm looking forward to go back but also at same time I don't want to - if that makes sense, DH is more than happy if I resign and have a career change since he's the one who bares the brunt of my frustrations
I still have 3 weeks until I have to give my formal decision in writing.
Got a phone call from my boss on Friday afternoon, they don't have a part-time role for me and I would have to go back fulltime which includes a week a month travelling so I have just written my resignation. It's kind of a relief in some ways
