You seriously need to consider what you post if this is an issue for you.

I went back 3 days a week to a engineering job, and was given the same work load as a full timer.

They were desperate for me to say that I couldn't do it in 3 days, but I managed.

Some companies are more flexible than others.

Thanks all.

Freebiequeenie - Yes, have been thinking of numerous scenarios! My main thing is I really don't want to do 5 days. So have thought of various ways around it. How do you find 4 days? I've heard that you can end up being expected to do the same amount of work as if you were working full time still? I could look at doing completely compressed full time hours into 4 days but I think it would be tough as baby would probably be in bed when I left / got home!

Goldiegirl - I'm the only person in my company who does my role.

4 days has been ok really helped doing 3 days for several months. I did have a similar workload to before but staffing has been awful for past few years n everyone has been pulling in more.
