Agreed. Would be nice to have menstrual leave, even if it’s like a day. I usually just take a day around the same time each month - colleagues with periods can usually guess why.
3 years ago I spoke to our geo general manager, basically the CEO of the local legal entity.
I explained that I am in ridiculous pain on my period, so much pain that I cannot think straight. I explained that not all women suffer from the same conditions, which makes the experience so different for each and much easier for many other women.
He told me to NEVER work through pain again and if anyone were to ever question why I'm off, to send them to him directly. He personally will back me.
Today, I cannot believe I used to put myself through it. He is right. I can't come and die lol. Suffer for what? If I cannot even concentrate from pain, how could I work? Nah sis. Been taking breaks ever since. Cannot beliebe
Started kinda planning for it (no important meetings etc., WFH etc.) and now mostly no even noticed lol.
Love that you have this support!
We have unlimited sick time at PwC 🤷🏼♀️
Also unpopular opinion but you should work with your obgyn if your period is so painful you can’t work/go about your day. As someone who has had a period for over 25 years, that is not normal…
Felt that😔
