My workload got immediately lighter as soon as I announced my pregnancy. Only getting a small/quick project here and there despite begging for more work. Baby is due in 3 months, is this how it’s going to be? Is this a normal experience?

I stopped getting placed on large projects when my due date got closer. It was in an attempt to keep me from being in the middle of a big project when I had the baby (which ended up being 3 weeks early.)

Has not been my experience - I'm 37 weeks and had to actively ask for a pull back on the one off projects a few weeks ago because of health concerns from my OB. I'd suggest having an honest conversation with your manager around what type of work you'd like to be pulled into until you're out (or framed in the lens of longer term opp too when you come back). I've been using my mat leave as a reassessment point for what do I want to come back to and how I can structure my team, define their growth opps, and provide feedback to my manager now on how I'd like my role to evolve, giving him some perspective to think about and steward while I'm out.

This happened to me at 6 months and after the birth. My agency tried to push me out the minute they learned I was pregnant. Ask other moms if there are any at your shop about their experience. Plan for the long haul.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
