I found out today that a manager at my work spoke with my supervisor and asked whether they thought I was coming back after I have my baby. I have spoken with this manager and my supervisor at length about returning. My supervisor shared with me that she responded by saying, “I don’t know, you know that moms will find a way to stay home with their babies if they can.” Or something to that effect.

The more I think about it, the angrier it makes me. I have told both of these people repeatedly that I want to stay with my company and have in fact told them and other managers that I want to move up within the company. I’m also slightly irritated that my supervisor felt the need to answer in such a way on my behalf. Idk I’m trying to figure out if I’m overreacting or if I’m justified in feeling this way. I’m also wanting to maybe discuss it more at length with my supervisor that I’m not happy with the response. Am I just being hormonal, or is it an issue worth approaching?
