Forgot that little shit, don’t let them stress you out, most important have staying calm and having a healthy baby. Sorry 😐 you should definitely report that person

And ended up puking up the glucose test and almost passing out at the doctors office. So I asked the senior to move the call to tomorrow when I felt better. The senior got snippy and said I’m not being “transparent” aNd I keep moving these calls and she wants to touchbase. I pinged the SM cause this hit a cord cause this pregnancy has been rough not to mention having to go to doctors appts getting temp checks and having to wear a mask while pregnant and said this is stressing me out. I’m not even supposed to work with the seniors, since I’m in a PM type role so specifically supposed to work with managers and above. I ended up crying to my husband that this senior didn’t get it and I want to get taken off this job cause I can’t stand it anymore. Just wanted thoughts... also been dealing with hypermesis gravidarium, extreme morning sickness and I had a MC before this keeping this baby healthy is my top priority... I’m just so frustrated

Do not leave the job because of the inappropriate actions of others. It’s important to be vocal in these situations. Set up a meeting with the partner and SM on this project. Let them know about your medical situation and what you need. Raise your concerns about professionalism from the senior.

Keeping your baby and yourself healthy is the priority. This is a hard time for everyone. That’s about the only thing I can say about the senior. If you need to cry to your husbands. That’s perfectly acceptable. If you need time off take it.

Ignore the senior, they don’t know shit. Years down the line they’ll be in a similar situation and then they’ll understand and realize how horrible they were. For now do a home spa day - take a relaxing shower, face mask, foot massage, do your nails, etc.

I am so sorry about the issues you are having with your pregnancy and the senior. Sending you big hugs!!

Definitely talk to your SM about what is going on. Also, surely this senior knows you are pregnant since you are in third trimester? Is he/she just clueless? Have you shared at all that you are not feeling well? Maybe ask your SM to talk to them and to be more respectful of you and your needs.

I was going to say the only way this person acted like that was if you didn’t tell them what was going on. Since you did tell them I find that ridiculous and that person is heartless. I’ve never been pregnant but I have a lot of health issues doctors apts and flare ups where I can’t work on short notice so I feel for you. Don’t let this person get to you talk to the SM and potentially HR. I agree you should look into taking time off now. This sounds like a very stressful pregnancy and I know firms are look ling for excuses to have people go on leave so it might be very good timing.

Ohh it’s okay. As soon as I started the induction process my blood pressure went down! Good luck with everything and definitely put you and your baby’s health before your job. No job is worth it!

Hi, just wanted to send my thoughts to you because I can relate. I also had HG with both pregnancies (lasted until I delivered), and it is so very hard. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat.

As a fellow pregnant person...that senior sounds awful and I’m so sorry you have to deal with that!! Keep making yourself and baby top priority, that’s what matters!

Update: they ended up finding another person in my role to take on that job during my leave and permanently after. The SM was surprised about it, but I feel like 1,000 lbs lifted not having to continue and stress about that job.

OP what level at EY are you? I hope your SM does something about this. If I got wind a Senior on my team was doing this there would be some conversations to be had for sure.

CPA or not, that’s wildly rude and unacceptable and I hope the executives on your team do something about it.
