Always complete my work on time every time when i came back from unpaid mc or leave because basically no-one is helping me doing my work. Ever-since i got covid i have post symptoms and since then been taking unpaid mc every month. Been working ever-since the lockdown. Got to know pregnant 3 months early jun this year. Both colleague been wfh ever since the lockdown and recently just came back to work full time on jun this year if i can remember. But when I’m pregnant i wasn’t even given a chance to wfh and or wfh during the Saturday. But both that colleague gets to wfh every Saturday. What an unfair employment.

Male boss was somewhat understanding but currently not my active direct manager. He’s easier to talk to and has empathy. The two female bosses that took over now are not at all sympathetic nor empathetic at all. Knowing both female bore children. They don’t care to ask, very robotic all work kind. Kept sending emails to finish up work. Had to get the male boss to intervene. But still the same. Female bosses are heartless. Lol.

Yes my boss is. I've taken almost 1 month of NPL in total and she didn't give my any snide remarks or ask me to come back work. She gave me words of encouragement. I mean I know NPL may affect work performance but I'm more concern of my health and baby right now. Im 35 weeks now. I hope I recover well during maternity and able to perform good at my job.

Not really... I told her I was pregnant when I was hospitalised for severe vomiting and dehydration. Then she proceeded to say “congratulations” and after that keep asking me to set out of office... Can you imagine your boss asking you to set out of office reply when you are lying in the hospital 😒

if they are supportive, they would have given extra manpower just because both me and baby still healthy, doesnt mean i should work like im not pregnant although im not doing anything physical work. sitting and standing long hours tire me out easily especially when im already at 8 months.

Very! She was so happy for me... and I appreciated the fact that she asked for my permission if its okay to share to others... and when I said yes, she told everyone 😅😅 she’s more excited than me.

I would have to say neutral. She was understanding when I needed to go for routine check ups. But at the same time she was rushing me to get things done/cleared before I go for my maternity leave.

I was even suddenly being “retrenched” cos cost cutting when they just hired new staffs, did a grand DND and was listed in NASDAQ. 🥲

Yes. I am blessed to have her. She's also the one who encourage me to do the fertility work-up with her former doctor.

Yeeeesss!! Superb! Even im in a work from home set up, she manage to sent me gifts for my baby.
