Thanks, i know that i panic and over-react when things like this happen. Im trying to think clearly and have written a set of ideas/plan.

The first being to discuss with this my manager and failing that HR to see what the situation is as this strongly affects both our family lives now, doesnt even allow for one in fact, and would not be acceptable to me. If they say that that’s that then i will have to start thinking about my options.

In the meantime I will talk to my other manager to see if she has any hours available and to let us know when. Maybe i could do some trial hours as well.

I know i panic when these things happen but if this is the situation from now then working wth this guy isnt going to work out for me and i need to do something about it
