Alright ladies, I am looking for advice and due to the delicate nature am going the anonymous route. I am supposed to be going back to work after my maternity leave. I met with my manager over the phone to check in and she is significantly changing my job upon my return. Prior to going out on leave we had spoken at several 1:1 conversations about how when I transitioned back, I would need to use the flexibility offered in my position and work remotely on occasion, especially the first few months. With the way my job is changing I will no longer have that option nor the ability to flex my schedule as my previous job allowed, which will cause a multitude of problems with existing commitments for my older child. My husband doesn’t have job flexibility, so it was more important in my role. As some additional background, I am not a poor performer and was actually recognized several times last year by my colleagues as being exceptional, so in no way is this that sort of issue. In hindsight I know I should have sent emails to follow up on our discussions since I don’t have anything in writing to help support my case, but short of inventing a time machine, what can I do?
