Hi.
So months ago (9 to be precise, not a coincidence) I agreed verbally with a client that I would be working remotely during a few weeks of paternity leave, the person at the client's has now asked me to take time off until I can start coming back to the office.
First of all, I am holding off the handover of all the work I have done remotely and wondering what the best approach is.
Currently I had indeed taken time off and plan not to extend the contract when it lapses, but I also feel it is not enough punishment for the **** at the client co.
I totally understand the a contract is not a permie role with all the benefits, but we did have an agreement (I even have an email confirming that) and in those 9 months I could have found a role with a more sensible client.
Should I chase the HR/PR/Legal at the client co - they're in public sector and have huge allowances for paternity/maternity for permies...
My current thinking is I won't and I have better ways to spend my time now, but somehow I also feel that such behaviour should not be tolerated/encouraged?
