Does anyone have any good advice for getting hr to improve the pump room (or at Havas it’s called the wellness room because anyone can use it 😡) conditions to be more conducive to pump?

Will competitive shaming work? At Edelman New York, the mothers rooms were redone a few years ago and it’s a little zen zone: shelves to keep pics of babies to help moms lactate, fridges in the room, Medela wipes, cubbies for your supplies, water bottles and a couch.

That’s BS that they didn’t give a dedicated room just for moms. I’m currently in a situation where we have one pump room on a large floor shared by three agencies. We have a good amount of pumping moms and we have to all try and schedule multiple pump sessions a day on a google doc, while working around our work schedule and other moms pumping schedules. It’s nearly impossible. Our “solution” is to kick people out of huddle rooms if we need them. It’s a joke. I think I’m going to tell HR that if we can’t find a solution I’m going to work from home much more often so it doesn’t affect my milk supply. I suggest you do the same!

Our room is on the 20th floor (That i operates by 1 elevator bank) and a bunch of agencies on the 7&9th floors (which is operated by a different elevator bank). I’m on 9. It literally takes me 5-7 min just to get to the room!

Oh my gosh I need to work at Edelman! Lol

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?

Any idea how often those lists get updated?
