I've done it working as a teacher. There is a request for flexible working letter template by the union NEU or NUT online. You have to write a lot about why it would benefit the company moreso than your own benefits
Yeah I did but got refused as I'm a manager and they don't do flexitime as managers 😪. I feel so sad I've worked so hard to get where I am (it did not come easy) and now I'm in a position where I feel I have to choose between full time career in a job I love or my baby. There is no comparison really but I want both.
@forrestr1987 have they said why they have you turned you down? Can you look into your rights, reasonable adjustments for parents/mothers. My union said this is one of the biggest forms of discrimination against women, not allowing flexible working around being a mother . Why would they say if you informally say that you have to consider leaving? Would they fight to keep you?
Because apparently it would be unfair on the other managers as they would have to cover me on the extra day I wasn't at work. (requested full-time over 4 days not 5). And they don't see it as a viable business option currently. I have emailed them back saying I am now going to have to consider my options etc.. . I got one back saying sorry your disappointed here's a link to appeals process. I'm gonna fill it out but not holding out much hope as my previous manager fraught it with a union and still got turned down. We are the only two managers to have children. I think it is descriminant but I have no idea what to do about it x
