We would not recommend you change status. The I-140 final rule provides you 60 day status extension within the I-94. Further, a person admitted in H1B may begin employment with a new employer upon USCIS receipt of a Change of Employer petition.

F-1 is not a fall back just because you do not wish to go back to your home country. If your employer did not have an open position, why didn't they inform you when you were abroad. CPT is not favorably considered by the U.S.
