Ladies, how would you feel?
I left a toxic job, joined a new one, and shortly after found out I was pregnant. I shared the news a few months in (once it was medically safe to announce) and went on mat leave after ~8-9 months.
But now I'm hearing leadership holds it against me and resents me.
I still have a few months of mat leave left, but this has been weighing on me and making me question everything-even though staying back would've hurt my health.
Has anyone been through something similar?

I haven't experienced this, but you should constantly remind yourself that you earned and are owed your mat leave. It's an employee benefit.

That being said, they can feel however they want to feel, but don't let that influence *you,* your bonding time with your baby, or your performance once you return. Let your work and value speak for itself

Try not to dwell on it, this is such a short time in a span of your long career, no one will remember or care you took this leave later on so just soak it in and then show what you got when you return. You got this.

Don’t believe anything you hear second hand. And don’t let anything steal you peace during maternity leave.

Whatever the situation is, it will be there when you get back to work and you will handle it with your new boss mom energy.

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Do i really need to be in the office? I’m in more of specialty group and considered to be a regional resource, only have a couple local engagements and likely won’t get more than that because there is not a lot of work for what i do around here. The leadership has been hinting at wanting everyone to be in the office at least a couple days. I’m okay going in when I’m working on local projects but when I’m not and all of my team is out of state what’s the point?
