[quote=Anonymous]I'm a physician and I work part-time because I have young children. In general my practice is very understanding about that and I appreciate it. I have only been there less than a year so I am still developing some credibility with them. 2 issues came up today that I'm not sure how to handle. The first is that they just asked me to work on Halloween when I am normally off on Fridays. In the past I have sometimes said yes, sometimes said no when they asked me to work extra days. I don't mind working that day but the problem is that they don't just need me to work my regular hours but actually need me to work 2 hours longer which means I won't be home in time for trick or treating. Should I ask if I can work my normal hours instead if staying late?

The second issue is that they scheduled an evening talk with another doctor (that I had previously said I would be interested in) but they didn't give me much notice which means if I go I have to scramble for childcare. It also means I probably won't see my kids for 48 hrs because I leave in the morning before they get up and I won't be home until after they go to sleep. So I'm not sure what to do. My priority is always my family but I don't want to lose my job either. [/quote]
