Workplace Mess
Happy Friday!! I have some things to get off my chest today. We've recently gotten a new GM here at my job, (I work in hospitality) and while taking the time to introduce himself to me, noticed that i was pregnant ( I was 30 weeks so it was hard to miss), which didn't surprise me, and asked when I was due. I proceeded to tell him in April for my repeat c section and he asked of course when they could expect me to take my leave. He then told me that I didn't have to leave and that he's delivered quite a few babies in his day and could be of assistance if I went into labor at work. I really thought that was an odd thing to say & then he decided to tell me that I shouldn't have a c section, he would never recommend it and that it wasn't a good decision. It got even worse when he went on to ask me why I couldn't deliver naturally and if " it was because my pelvic and hip bones were too narrow to pass the baby" Ya'll I was so aggravated at this point. 😡 First of all, it's none of his business whatsoever and to have such an ignorant opinion about how i choose to safely bring my child into this world was so offensive to me. He IS NOT a doctor. My repeat c section is due to medical reasons and is the safest path for my child and I. I was so upset after the conversation and now feel extremely uncomfortable around him. I have another pregnant coworker who he made feel the exact same way. I'm just counting down the days until I leave this place. March can't come fast enough.

*Update: my coworker & I talked to another member of management about how we were feeling & what was said by his GM he brought on. While he seemed to be sympathetic in the moment hearing our concerns his initial response was “ I’ll address this in my own way”. Ok, well it’s been some time since then & the man is still perverting around. I honestly don’t even think he talked to him or he did & it wasn’t as serious as it should’ve been. Needless to say I was expecting him to let him go due to the fact that he makes the women in our workplace very uncomfortable. Shouldn’t the staff concerns matter? I’ve lost all respect for this company.
