Feeling anxious over here... My friend that I trained in at work is thinking of taking a second job or leaving this current one entirely when she knew that we needed her for when my baby comes. unfortunately for her as of now that means she doesn't get many hours and won't get more until I take maternity leave. I don't plan on doing so until I go into labor. if she leaves now then we have to find another person to train in and that's not a whole lot of time to find someone, train them, and have them work comfortably on their own.

Why does this have to happen now?

edit- I've told her that hours will pick up for her when the times comes for my son to be born and after. I'm certainly not going back to full time right away when I have my baby to think about and care for.
