Advice needed!!! Please returning to work HR girls!

I want to go part time but I think my employer either wants me to do 3 days or 5 days a week - If I want to do a flexible work request where I request to work 4 days instead of 5 days and they say no I….can I then say ok can I do 3 days then without that being a seperate request ?

I don't think you can negotiate it that way. But in your initial application and through the process you can discuss alternatives and say if your first choice isn't approved, here's the second choice etc.

I think you have a meeting to discuss the request and if you’re happy to accept their suggestion instead that’s what gets agreed and your contract gets changed accordingly. It also depends if you’ve submitted a statutory request or if it’s just informal. I’m no expert but just been through it myself so did a lot of research

Friends!

So I see many posts of people saying they are not making friends, people taking forever to answer etc. I’m just wondering could that be the fact that people don’t want to message first? Or they just don’t match on the waves? Or notifications are not coming up?!

Hello 🫶

Looking to make new friends, no matter where you are! Being at home all the time with just a tiny person for company can be lonely so I’m reaching out to see if anyone is out there in the same position - I am also a really good listener so if you need to rant then I’m here! 👋🏼🤍

Deleting app

I’m so ready to delete this app. I don’t think people actually want to gain friendships. I’ve only had little conversations and that’s it. What a bummer 😒

Socialising

I’m due on July 9th, and lately I just don’t feel like myself socially. Before pregnancy, I loved seeing my friends, making plans, going out it used to genuinely excite me. But now… I just don’t have the energy or desire for it.

All I seem to want is to stay at home, be with my partner, and keep things really low-key. I’ve been cancelling plans a lot, and it’s starting to make me feel like a bad friend or like I’m being selfish. I do love my friends, nothing has changed in that sense I just don’t feel up to socialising at all.

I’m also just so exhausted all the time, and part of me worries I’m isolating myself or that something’s wrong with me.

Has anyone else felt like this during pregnancy? Is this normal? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar 🤍

Today I realized....

Today, while venting (in my head, as I have no friends) I realized that "I like my husband less than I like a stranger"

I may sound mean, and I hadn't meant it that way. (I never said it aloud) but DAMN
"Honey, I like you LESS THAN I like a stranger."
