so im thinking about taking my maternity leave from work in the next week or so but i feel bad. 1 my manager just fired a shift leader then the other shift leader is moving march 1st. (There are only 4 of us shift leaders and that will only leave 1 shift leader) 2. There are 2 employees that are going to be leaving around my due date. im 36 weeks and really need to start working on getting things at home ready for baby girl to be here but dont want to leave my job short handed... ughh
Since you're 36 weeks, take it now! You need time to prepare for the baby - cleaning the house, washing clothes, organize, and most importantly: REST. Especially if he doesn't think you'll make it to your due date. I'd take it now, most definitely.
i was gonna wait til i had her but working the way i do i havent had time to do anything else lol
yea i know we have a manager meeting tomorrow and im gonna bring up taking my leave. when would be a good time to take it? i still have a whole house to disinfect and clean and then put all her stuff together etc
Think about you and your baby, not work or employees. Your job there isn't to see who works when, who is quitting when, etc. Worry about you, your baby, having everything ready for your baby, and resting!
I told them my last week I could only do half a week! (worked everyday anyway since my daughter came early) you could always work part time for now! tell them it's part time or leave!
