This has been on my mind for a while..
So I've really been struggling mentally with this pregnancy. My last term pregnancy i wasn't working so i didn't have these issues but I'm having them this time around and its really bugging me, all of it.
So here's the backstory:
I was at work, everyone knew i was pregnant, literally everyone because its a very gossipy place. I went to my HR and scheduler about what I'm supposed to do when I give birth because when I'm due is 2 weeks-ish shy of a full year of employment there, and i wouldn't be protected by (i think its called..) The FMLA act. They 100% told me to no-call-no-show when I'm in labor. So i could collect unemployment. Because they couldn't keep my spot for me for the 6 or so weeks I'll be gone.
So i was really upset about that. Like really upset. All i could think was that they were trying to get rid of me because i was pregnant. I went to my HR again sometime after that and tried to talk to her, however being pregnant (and also diagnosed with bipolar, depression, and anxiety) i ended up crying in front of her. Right away as i started having tears roll down my face she gets angry with me and tells me to "grow up" and that "I'm an adult and I'm being completely unprofessional".
So, being the human being that i am i got angry that she said that (because i am normal and have emotions like a human being, not just because I'm pregnant) so i stormed out of her office in a rage. She followed me and i told her (kinda loudly i won't lie) that i was off my meds and she really didn't want me to talk to her right now. (I'm only off my meds because of the non-stop shaking i went through. I'm going on new meds asap)
So eventually i went back into her office, without yelling or crying again while i was in there and quietly listened to what she had to say. Mostly she kept saying that she expected me to suppress my emotions while at work and always be happy in front of others while I'm working. Eventually i quietly said "forget i even came here" and i walked out.
My boss came and got me after a few minutes and led me back into her office. When we were right outside her office I said to him that i really didn't want to go in there and he pretty much said "too bad" and went in anyways.
She sent me home that day. Right before my vacation (unpaid) that i was going on so i could see my first born on her school vacation. She said that i was unprofessional. So i apologized. And i got no apology for her behavior.
So my real reason for this post is because my vacation is over and I'm going back to work in the morning. I'm super nervous and i don't want to see her again but it's inevitable. I'm planning on using some choice words with her. No anger or rudeness about it just blunt about how she made me feel. I fully expect her to fire me when this happens.
Thank you for reading this whole thing if you did. I'm just so upset about this whole thing. I honestly didn't expect to be treated this way by her. But i am a human being. I have the right to have emotions. And I'm going to either put her in her place or get fired. Wish me luck.
Edit: i quit because she was stepping on me again trying to force me to quit. She acted like she didn't really hurt me, like i was lying. I'm done with them. Thank god. But now i need a new job.
