I agree 100%. The most toxic places that I’ve worked glorified working excessively long hours. Just this weekend a former co-worker at one of those toxic companies posted a pic of her very pregnant self in her office with the caption,”just the 2 of us left.” It was late evening on a weekend. She does this all the time. Yes, it’s tax season and long hours are required. But, you are a manager and you are bragging about being the last one there. AND, you’re pregnant. That’s why it really got to me this time. Just seems off to me. You should be delegating more effectively and it did not impress me that you’re 8 months pregnant. Terrible tone from the top.
