    He sounds like a Dk head. Sorry to be blunt.

    When you go part time you bleeding well do part time work - YOU should not to be expected to do 40 hours of work in 20. Omg I'm angry for you. They should hire another part timer to make up the hours not expect to get effectively cheap labour from you if part time and do ALL the work. 😠 Idiot.

    When I set up as self employed local council ran lots of free courses looking at the various aspects - marketing, tax, legal etc. Very useful and a useful networking tool to as you meet so many people in the same position but all setting up different things

    I can’t believe you’re expected to do your full time job in half the hours. It really sounds like self employment is the right way to go. Whatever you decide I hope it all works out for the best for you.
