Keeping the door open for future employment
My job itself pays decent and I like the work. I hate the current management situation. There are 2 bosses for 5 people. One particular manager is a micro-managing nightmare.
Today, he just accidently instant messaged me, instead of the other boss, about how he doesn't want to approve me to move into the second shift position after I return from maternity leave. Someone else in our department already works that shift after all of us being asked a couple years ago. At the time, second shift didn't work for me. However, with a baby on the way, I see it as an excellent way to work and reduce the costs of working (less daycare). Well now that I know my boss is looking for justification for denying me working this schedule, I think it's time to move on and look for something else after my maternity leave.
I don't want to burn my bridges though. If management changes down the road, I'd consider coming back to this position/department or even another role in the same department under different management. If I quit right after maternity leave, I could see that burning the bridge. I've worked for the company for 7 years, and I was looking for different positions prior to me finding out I was pregnant. I'd even consider taking on a different lower paying role if it made sense financially (evening hours or something). I certainly don't want to pay to work here. ( I currently commute downtown and with the added cost of daycare, I'd be working to pay for work).
Would you come back to work for a month, two months etc. so that you cold keep that door open?
Re: Keeping the door open for future employment
At this point, I don't want to do anything that would compromise my maternity leave.
