After maternity medical leave, I requested a 3 month WFH accommodation with two doctors notes for support. HR denied it and only allowed a two week WFH, or to separate me if I don’t take the two week WFH. It put my health at risk but I don’t have option. Meanwhile, there are a good number of employees work from home in other teams in the company permanently. What should I do

I mentioned the Act, they don’t seem to care

Wow, I’m so sorry. What country are you at? I’d consult a lawyer immediately tbh. You have a doctor’s note and you’re putting your health at risk.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
