Rant time: I work for a wireless company and have recently been promoted to store manager. I'm 36 almost 37 weeks pregnant, they hadn't told me or sent me the official offer letter yesterday but when one of my coworkers who also got promoted talked to my boss she told her they want me running the new store by Friday...I'm off today and my boss hasn't reached out at all to tell ME what's going on. Why is it that she can tell my coworker but not me. To top it off I am working 55 hours a week right now and am exhausted. Going to this store means more than likely one of the employees will quit and it'll be me and one new person. They're going to try and get to me work 6 days a week again at a store I can't sit down at and expect me to run it. I think this is so shitty of them to just throw me to the wolves. The job I can handle....the added stress not so much I'm already not sleeping and having prodromal labor all the time. Going to see the doctor today and I think I'm gonna just ask that they sign me off for maternity leave now even though I don't qualify for FMLA until the 24th. I feel like I've been backed into a corner. My blood pressure is through the roof I'm borderline hypertensive so I'm hoping they'll just say ok and I can go now. I just can't get over how not thoughtful that is. I physically can't give anything more than I am now. I don't even have time to get ready for this baby as is yet alone with this new job. I told them it would be a easier transition if I started once I'm back from leave and this is what I get 😑
You only get FMLA once you've been there a year. I've talked to our benefits person about it. I'm really hoping my doctor will just sign off so I can go out on Monday and that'll only been a week off before I qualify for FMLa. I could really use the down time to finish getting ready and cleaning for his arrival. nap itientlywaitingonmyprince
