I’d really love some advice on my redundancy situation.

Hi mamas, 💛
I’ve been on maternity leave since October last year, and my SMP just ended (last payment was 3rd July). My original role was moved to London, and they offered me a different position — but it was a downgrade and didn’t accept my request for remote working. I had hoped to return to something more flexible, so I decided to take redundancy instead.

I’ve got 3 months’ notice, but HR said they’ll contact me at the end of September (when my maternity officially ends). I’m just wondering — should I ask them to give me notice now, while I’m still on leave? That way they can’t make me work it, and I’d probably get it all as PILON (pay in lieu of notice), plus any holiday and statutory redundancy pay.

Really don’t want to return to work just to work my notice, especially with a little one.

They would put you on gardeners leave anyway more than likely ( you dont need to work but your official leave date is after your notice ) .. I was made redundant a few years ago in December and they didnt make me go back after christmas even though my leave date wasnt until Feb x

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
