I met someone and their son is a director at Morgan Stanley. He told me to give him a call and potential have a talk about working there . How are Morgan Stanley advisors compensated. I ask because I left another firm and they have tried to charge me charge backs on commissions that have come back.

Had a boss start taking me off projects and not giving me new ones late in my pregnancy. I was mad at first. As a workaholic, I mourned my career. The mommy gap was real. However, years later I’ve realized that I should have been grateful. My boss would have been an asshole to keep loading up my plate while I was growing a human and about to start life’s greatest adventure. I’ve also realized that she was doing her job by making sure our clients and the team who would be taking over my work was prepared and ready for a seamless transition. Thanks, Sally!! I’d put your transition plan in place, put time on their calendar to review and discuss. Perhaps with some of the folks you mention are already in the loop. Hang in there!
Ignore all my emails related to doctors visits and discussing maternity leave schedule.
At this point, I feel really awkward talking to him and am managing my schedule with my CD and project managers...
How should I mange this? Talk to HR? Try to have a really uncomfortable one on one with him?
@CD1 he’s not usually very responsive and I’m not the only only one feeling ignored by him but my situation feels different.. I have briefly discussed this with some of my project managers and my creative director and they all seem to be in the loop about my leave/schedule but I’m still feeling weird - I guess I just imagined that my direct boss will care more.
And yea I feel like the good opportunities stopped coming as well but not sure if those simply don’t exist or if it’s pregnancy related.
When it was me, I wished they would stop asking about it. I organized my leave. Made plans and how I was feeling was none of their bees wax! And notes about appointments? Just don't. Send one fyi with the dates and then keep your calendar up to date.
It’s hard to judge because it seems like you’re at a small shop (you’re an AD reporting directly to ECD; at mine only GCDs report directly to ECD). However, I would tend to agree with pp that dealing with doctors appt PTO and stuff like that doesn’t fall under an ECD’s responsibilities. He probably just assumes your email is an FYI. Also, having been pregnant myself, I’d add: not everyone is going to care that much about your pregnancy. To them, it’s just,oh, so and so won’t be here for 3 months. It’s a blip not warranting much thought or attention.
Thanks everyone, your answers really helped me to understand I shouldn’t take it personally and just focus my next couple weeks before maternity leave towards setting up all the needed documents and taking it easy :)
Is he normally responsive to PTO/WFH type of emails? Not that they are equivalent, but I’ve found at that level that a lot of ECDs ignore the emails they assume their counterparts are handling. Especially if they aren’t the only person on the chain.
But your instincts are ringing. There must be something going on. Any peers or CDs at your company you could confide in about this and get their read? Your manager?
Are you feeling passed over for opportunities? Or just annoyed he is not acknowledging this very important aspect of your personhood?
Yes to all the above.
Get your transition document organized and keep him looped in. Don't read too much into his lack of enthusiasm/response.
I usually make a point to “ignore” someone’s pregnancy unless they actively engage in conversation about it with me. I don’t want them to feel like I am treating or thinking about them any differently than before. It’s also a scary and unknown thing and extremely personal. Now that I am pregnant myself, I hope people ignore mine too! I don’t want to talk about it with work people. 🙅🏻♀️
