Anyone taken bereavement for a miscarriage? It’s not our first but this one is hitting me abnormally hard. I know I can use PTO but it feels wrong to do PTO when grieving time is needed.

So sorry this happened to you. We just had a late term loss and I was given a few weeks of personal time similar to what I’d get for bereavement. Each firm is different but I agree worth reaching out to HR.

The hard part is we’ve been here so many times. It’s always early. I usually grieve and move on. This time is a breaking point. I’ll talk to hr.

OP I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please take the time you need for you and your family.

OP - Just talk with your HR person. I took bereavement this year, and it was simple/straightforward. Very sorry for your loss.

OP how did it go? I’m in a very similar situation to you and idk why this time it’s hurting so much? Maybe it’s because I think we had gotten our hopes up this time and started telling friends and family because she was showing early. Maybe it’s because I don’t think she wants to keep trying anymore and I don’t want to push her either. My wife and I have been trying for a 2nd for a few years now and feels like we’re at the point of giving up. This one happened last night while we’re on vacation at a friends destination wedding during cocktail hour. My wife is a strong woman but man , this one is hurting.

I feel fine in my own skin most of the time but when I am in new and unfamiliar situations I get crazy body dysmorphia and super concious of my physicality. Any ideas on what I can I do to temper those feelings?

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

One of my queries is regarding the Medical Insurance. As per the offer letter it mentions "Mediclaim Scheme with Floater Option of Self + 3 or Self + 5 with/without parents. " : INR. 150,000/- to INR. 3,000,000/- 
Does this mean that without paying extra, the med insurance is just 1.5L?

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
