So ladies I'm scared.

I emailed my project manager/HR yesterday confirming I'm scheduled to come back on Tuesday since they had me on calendar off next week as well.
Well he emailed me back and said he had thought I was off till July. And if I wanted the option of going part time for the summer.

Not gonna lie, that scares me.

My initial thought was maybe things are slow since sometimes it is slower during the summer. So I texted a co-worker who's also a really good friend. He said he is up to his neck in work and they could really use me back.
Now I'm even more scared.

He said there are things going on at work unrelated to me. If someone should be on the chopping block it shouldn't be me.

Ugh. Seeing as how I'm already on leave I see I'm the easiest to "cut". Part time would be nice to spend more time with M. But we can't really afford the pay cut. And what about my benefits??

My husband thinks maybe they are being nice and offering me the option to spend more time with M. And don't get me wrong my employer is fantastic. But if they are that busy why would they want me home in lieu of at work producing??

He thinks I should just call and talk to them. My coworker thinks I should go in person.

Thoughts???!!!
