Going back to work

Am going back to work in less than a month's time. And I cry everyday at the thought of it. I am so attached to my baby that I can't go anywhere without her. I'm so depress. My husband told me to just quit, but I don't want to burden him with all the finances. Its also hard to find a part time/home base job in times like these. My boss does not believe in working from home either. When everyone is supposed to work from home as much as possible, he still insist everyone to return to the office daily. So requesting to wfh is not an option. Ultimately, I think I'll still be returning to work. I just hope by talking it out, it would take abit of the depression away and ease back on the crying a little. But I guess it isn't helping.

Hello! i faced the same situation as well. My boss insist everyone to report to office everyday, die also don't want wfh. When i just came back from mat leave, it was very difficult. boss keep complaining that i function very slow and if this continue, i will get lesser increment & bonus. True enough, i got lesser bonus than the rest, reason being i was on maternity leave. -.- In addition, my baby is in ifc, and he keep falling sick. I was super tired. But now its getting better after few mths. When u go back office, don't expect the things to be the same as before maternity. We tend to function slower and short term memory after delivery. Give yourself some time to adjust back too. As for baby, its natural for you to feel this way. U have anyone to take care of him after u go back to work? U try to focus on other things instead of your baby. Jiayous, u will be ok 👍

Did you not escalate this issue to MOM/TAFEP for discrimination? Also nobody whistleblow your company for not abiding by covid guidelines? I hope things would get better for you! Jiayou too!
