Well bollocks and crap and all that.
I've been asked to work at another site one day a week for the rest of the year on a temp basis.
I'm not exactly thrilled at having to be at another site, first off the drive there and back and not really knowing anyone over there.
sigh
I may not have a choice in this either. I did say it has to be passed through someone else and be ok with them but they're away at the moment, I could probably say to my line manager and suggest that it's not a good idea to transfer me but at the same time it leaves my site unattended as well for one day a week to cover for their absence.
I need to think through this and how I'm going to navigate this. In the end I may not have a choice but to comply.
See if you can negotiate that you start (and maybe even end) at the normal site. Then the driving costs to/from the other site becomes a tax deduction.
To be honest it's almost equal distance between the two sites from my home so I'd be less inclined to go with that idea.
It's more the can of worms that could open me up to being relocated next year part time if I do this for the first time ever.
Want to make sure that I protect myself and my role and where I work at as best as possible.
