Returning to work after caring for family - what worked for you?

I am nervous about technology changes while I was away. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I want flexible hours. Are there returnship programmes?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
