I think my employer is advertising my job

you told you boss you don't want the job he employed you to do.

You have been there less than a year

Looks like you will be gone if he finds someone. no suprise since you also told him you are working for nothing, you gave away too much information.

Even if you had been there for up to to years he could easily make you redundant(no redundancy pay) and replace you( it is esier than most people think even though not really allowed).


If you are looking through the agency that he has used, I bet he got a call and knows you are looking.

Well you're in a fantastic cheery mood today! Dont sugar coat it mate!

Thanks for that kick in the face. I had little choice on how to hide it when I told him my childcare was changing - he came out and asked how much it costs nowadays for a nursery placement. I told him it was £800 a month each - it doesnt take a genius to work out that when I take home £1500 a month the sums dont add up does it?

And how on earth would he ever find out that I looked on an internet recruitment page? :mad:

The 3 day a week job sounds perfect if it means you'll be better off and have to work fewer hours to boot.

Do you have a spare room? If so, an au-pair might be a good answer to the childcare problem.

Are you sure you are qualified for a HR Advisor post when you weren't able to answer you're own question about the responsibilities of your current company towards you?

I refer you to post 8.

This position I am applying for is an HR Advisor with regards the recruitment cycle which I have lots of experience in.

Thanks teabelly. Yes it seems perfect. My childminder would be able to continue to look after them 2 days per week with one day being spent in nursery which means I'll actually be able to earn some money!

Re the Au Pair - we could have a spare room if we put the two children in the same room. I hadnt even considered it to be honest.

Companies don't have to employ anyone, so if you don't fit the criteria then you don't fit the criteria.

So what criteria has changed for my position then? I'm still doing the same job I was employed to do.

I used my legal right to ask for a flexible working pattern which was refused. I havent kicked up a fuss about it - I'm disappointed but they too have the legal right to refuse it if they feel justified.

I'm just saying, in general if you don't fit the companies criteria for work, they won't employ you. If that's because a potential recruit has children then so be it, but they won't admit that is the case, they'll just say another candidate has more skills/experience, if anything at all.

I think you are missing the point. The company have already employed her. She met the criteria for the job when she was recruited. So the OP is not a potential recruit she is an existing employee

I know. I'm commenting on a post earlier in the thread about employers avoiding people with children.
