I need some advice!!
Hi ladies! Looking for some insight, advice, anything at this point because I'm so stressed and overwhelmed! (Those that may be negative or rude please dont respond! I don't want more stress!) sorry for the novel but a lot to vent!
So I dont know what it is about me being pregnant because I thoroughly enjoy it but workplaces just don't like it apparently! My first pregnancy with my Son I was super sick all 9 months and had my Dr. Write in notes and provide all information to prove I was sick! I would even suck it up certain days and throw up in my trash but continue working. I was threatened my job if I took anymore days off (even though I still had time) so I went on FMLA immediately! I had worked at that company for about 4 years at the time and barely ever took time off until my pregnancy. Last December 13th I had my amazing baby boy who will be 1 year next month! 😭
I started at a new company back in August to try and advance myself further in the insurance world and they have been very aware of my pregnancy and this time around I have my boss tell me with nothing but attitude to save what little time I have because they wont support my short term disability.
I thought okay I have plenty of time because when I interviewed I was told I have have plenty of time to start out with. They told.me I had a total of 10 days between sick, and personal al to start out with and than after your 90 days you get 2 weeks vacation time. Well my 90 days is up and I still dont have my vacation time.
Come to find out that was an "old policy" and now their new handbook policy indicates after a year... well between my first trimester sickness I took a few days here and there...maybe 3 days and our family member who watches our son had been sick for two days so my hubby took one and I took the next day. That's 4... and of course my appointments I've had 2. So I of course stated I have my baby appointment December 12th and would love to take my sons year birthday off on the 13th. Then states I had my sons year dr appointment the 19th. And thinking to myself I'll use the 12th and 13th and vacation days. Come to find our as I stated above I do t have vacation days after the 90 days and got back an attitude written email "That's Fine -- you will only have two days left until March after that".... where am I supposed to get the other times for my biweekly and weekly prenatal appointments?
I'm just so stressed because I took this job believing they werent bullshitters and then the second I take the job I get nothing but attitude. I even had to in my second month here write up a report on bullying and harassment because my employee sent an email about me to an old employees email who is connected to my email and I was blatantly bashed during my lack of training time. She got a slap on the wrist for what she wrote but I'm getting the attitude for being pregnant!
Ladies I need advice! Sorry again for the novel!
