Just came across this thread and as of yesterday looks like I'm joining you guys
I was working as an office manager/admin at a church and I had a part-time flexible schedule due which worked great since my DH is a pilot and is gone a lot so with having to take my two small ones to daycare and preschool and if one got sick I was able to come and go as needed without worry.
Well yesterday they said that since the church was growing, they needed someone there full time (including Sunday's to do work, which I can't do since with two kids, who can find daycare on a Sunday . I could make M-F full time work, I have childcare throughout the week, but Sunday wouldn't have worked, so we decided that I would "give my two weeks" and start looking.
It really stinks since it was such a great set-up and I know I won't ever find that again, but I guess employers have the upper hand these days and there was really nothing I could do. Perhaps they didn't like my flex schedule anymore and didn't want to admit it to me (since that was the agreement we had when I started working there over 2 years ago) and felt bad asking me to give it up, who knows.
