Hi Mummies,
Just want to share with you my experience so far and to seek some advice.
I am currently employed with a reputable company for the past 2+ years. I had applied to take 4 months Maternity leave which would end by last week of Oct. I had informed my immediate boss of my intention to work from home after the 4 months for an additional 2 months so i go back to office in Jan 2010, this was informed to him when i was 5-6 months preggie... My company reverted back to me 1 months after 1 delivered that there is no such policy to work from home, and if i insist, i would have to take a 50% pay cut.
I just dont understand why a 50% pay-cut when I will put in the same amount of hours and complete my workload as if i was in the office.
My Head of Dept boss is now trying to look at alternatives and have yet to revert back to me after 6 weeks of chasing for an answer.
I just dont know if I should pursue on with this company or resign and look for something else which is more flexible that I can look after my 3month boy.
