This is what I was told unofficially by my line manager this week. He was just warning me, that there was a review of part time working hours coming up. I am so annoyed! DH and I have, what I think is a good, and fair arrangement.
We both work almost, but not quite full time, 24/7 shifts, doing the exact same job. At the time I just sat there, put my innocent face on, and asked why that way round. Of course he couldn't give a reason, and then, got flustered, and said it could be either way. I had been merrily going along, thinking, that equality is more the norm these days, and we are getting there. I think I have just had a rude awakening. It seems the assumption that men are more important is alive and well.

We would like DH to go full time, and you to work shifts around him. Aargh!
