I wonder how many women have done better at work this year and faced less bias because WFH Zoom calls enable us to hide our pregnancy longer and deal with the symptoms better. Can't wonder if someone is pregnant if you aren't in the stall next to them hurling. Can't see us looking exhausted on a tiny Zoom window like you could at the desk.

Didn’t tell anyone until 6.5 months. It’s been super easy to hide and the more flexible working schedule hasn’t been a problem if I logged off in the afternoon (“morning” sickness my foot) but sending things at 4/5am. Take full advantage of it!

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster.

I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

Many thanks.

How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
