I hate my job and tried to switch in last 3 months but no luck. Now I am 2 months pregnant and in the same job. I hate it so much that I cry everyday. I am scared that this might effect my baby. But dont know what to do. Feeling stuck and trapped and feel like whole universe is against me now.

Now don’t try to switch… just prepare yourself and practice for interviews… u have to paas these remaining months till delivery any how. Just 6 months.. and after you will feel comfortable and get time before joining back or even after that again start searching… that time you can join other organisation… but for now u can study and make proper notes so that u can just refer them and back on track. Don’t take stress for now… focus on ur mental and physical health and do whatever makes you happy..

I can very well relate to your post. I was in same situation 12 years ago, when I changed the job which I hated very much.As soon as I joined the company I found myself pregnant. I waited till my delivery and later joined back after maternity & after joining I faced hell lots of toxicity which cant be explianed in words. I worked hard on my technical skills & joined a very famous semiconductor company where I worked for a decade and very recently joined another major fintech company. So, wait patiently & upskill silently meanwhile taking care of yourself & baby.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

I just started parental leave for 12 weeks, but a new job opportunity just came up. What do I do if I get an offer? Do I tell my boss before I come back from leave, or do I just resign on my first day back?

Does anyone know a) if there’s a minimum employment period to qualify and b) what the enhanced maternity pay is. I’ve read both 16 weeks and 18 weeks.

Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
