Hi,
I have been working with a company for the last 5 years and i have been the best and consistent performer all through my tenure in that company. Recently i have availed my maternity leave for 6 months which was approved by the company. On my date of reporting back to work i am informed to take 3 more months leave as they do not any requirement for me in the company. I was rated highest rating in 2012 appraisal and i am the most tenured employee in the whole HR team. They even hired an employee in the month of march 2012. On my date of reporting i have informed my manager that i can work for 9 hrs (i.e. from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm) and i will not be able to stretch beyond that in office but can work from home if required as i have to pick up my baby from the daycare. In my current company there is no work from home option. Now my question is how can my current employer force me to take leave which i am not interested to take just because i cant stretch my working hours after being the most tenured and best performer all through. Now i am on extended leave with LOP. I am also been informed that my employment may be continued or discontinued after 3 months based on the requirement at that point of time. I feel its very unfair for them to do this to me at this point of time after being the most faithful and reliable employee at all hard times all through my tenure. I am anyways looking out for a job change but it will be difficult for me to work in a new company at this phase of my life as the expectations will be high in the new environment. One more thing is my current employer did not even give me my promotion even after being the top performer as my employment is not confirmed. They are telling that they will promote me for sure in next appraisal(i.e. 2013, July) if my employment continues which they are not sure. Should i just keep quite and look for a job and start all over again? I feel its very wrong from their side to opt for a non performer than a good performer who has to concentrate on her family along with office work at this point of time. I feel like doing something which makes them realize that they cannot do this and get away with it. Please suggest.
