Career switch

Anyone switch careers after giving birth? What are some of the more understanding and forgiving industries to go to? I love my job but bosses and colleagues are not the most understanding. Except for mc during gynae appointments, I did not take any other leave even when I fell sick. These are pre-planned, and I’m required to work from home too. Performance bonus and annual increment based on past year work, but I’m penalised as I won’t be around for a few months in 2020 (ML), and this will also affect my performance appraisal in 2021.

Yes pls switch. You can try healthcare line? I was in engineering before & it was too stressful for me. Now im in healthcare line, i feel that my boss and colleagues are more understanding towards my situation. :) but it all depends on ur boss and the people he hire i guess.. my place has no politics & i love it. :) all the best in your job hunting!
