I haaaaattttteee my job and before finding out I was pregnant I was looking for other positions. Now I'm contemplating…

I was in the EXACT same boat as you. I wasn't able to find another job and I got stuck there. It was a sales job and I am horrible at sales. Towards the end I was about to get fired. So I took my leave at 36 weeks and when I was due to go back in January, I quit. Now I'm staying at home but if I was going to go back to work I would have used my time off lookin for a new job. It's a tough decision. Good luck!

You can always find another job. It is still early. Might not get maternity leave paid but it's still and option

I'd say stick with it until you know you have another job. Even if my job doesn't pay me as much, I just got an interview with a better paying job. And I'm not leaving mine until I know I got the job.

@levismom, thank you! I'm prop going to wait but it seems so long. I was talking with boyfriend and he made me realize it's only temporary but my attitude is already bad.

@beebaby, that's what I worry about as far as leave. I know some companies require a year.

@babylove11416, yes I wouldn't leave until I had an offer letter with the salary and so forth.. I know some companies do day one insurance and some vary

Mostly all require a year

@first_timemom17, oh girl I hear you. My attitude was nasty at that job. I knew it was only temporary too and it felt like 9 months would take an eternity. But it went quicker than I thought it would. Towards the end I was SO hateful to some of my coworkers. 🙊 I only liked 2 of them lol. They all thought it was pregnancy horomones which was a win for me. They don't know me like that though. Otherwise they would have known, when I don't like someone, I don't really hold back that I don't like them. Lol.

@levismom, I love my coworkers.. well the ones on my team.. it's just the work load.. and the others.. I'm in IT and everyone feels like their issue is so important or it's drop everything your doing

@beebaby, guess I better start learning to countdown my anger 😂😂❤

@levismom, and then they only give 6 weeks here of maternity

@first_timemom17, my employer didn't give any. Not unless you had vaca or sick built up.

Unfortunately lol

@levismom, ugh!! This is crazy

@beebaby, I better order a stress ball

@nkinsey, yes... I'm going to have to stick it out because of that... and finding a job is a job within itself that I don't think I need to deal with right now anyway
