Pregnancy & Work (hard time) š¤¬
Has anyone else experienced a hard time with their manager whilst been pregnant?
Ive got to the point where today Iāve had a breakdown and all Iāve done is cry about this (and itās not the first time). š
Iāve been within the same company for 3 years (never had ANY issues with any managers at all) but I changed job role at the end of April which means new team and new manager. On the 11th July I found out I was pregnant (unplanned but we where SO happy and feeling really blessed). I tried to keep this quiet for as long as I can but I ended up been quite sick due to morning sickness and a UTI which got bad so I had to tell her. Her face dropped... now I know itās my fault, starting a new job and then becoming pregnant isnāt the best but it wasnāt intentional I I honestly donāt know what she expects me to do? She didnāt particularly like me before this news but I could tell this was going to make situations worse. But along cane from her the āah well things happen at bad timingsā (no congratulations or anything).
There was things which happened before I was pregnant which was just completely treating me differently to other members of staff. Like letting others getting off early (but of course not me even tho we all had over time on our clocks) just been a absolute awkward b**** with me! But now Iām pregnant she is just so rude. I was off work with a UTI and when I got back to work my WHOLE TEAM knew why I had been off?! I thought this was personal info, surely she has no right sharing it? Unfortunately I have been quite ill so Iāve had about 2 weeks off (not all once, one week here one week there) and sheās so unimpressed. But sheās never been pregnant she doesnāt seem to understand it isnāt always easy. Iāve been of this week with flu (I canāt even get out of bed) sheās ignored my messages apologising but replied in a work group chat. The thought of going back is giving me a mental breakdown... itās such SLY things she does so she will get away with it but it all builds up and I honestly canāt cope! HORMONAL , EMOTIONAL PREGNANT WOMEN DONT NEED THIS!!!! I just feel so sad I have no one to go to at work. Sorry for the rant, I donāt want any grief I just have no idea what to do š Iām such a push over itās annoying
This pregnant woman has had enough, ever since sheās found out sheās not asked me how I am once or spoken to me about this pregnancy, I have no idea what documents she needs and what happened in terms of MAT leave etc. I spoke to HR who said she will sort this out (but hasnāt!)
