I'm on a fixed term contract - meant to last until the end of the year, but allows for a month's notice from either party. I really enjoy my (fairly new) job, tho have had little feedback re. how I'm doing, so am not sure whether I'm on track to be made permanent. I really want to be, but think I may have ruined my chances...
...just to complicate matters, I'm pregnant. I've had a look at the working families website and it seems clear that they can't dismiss me just for being pregnant - and if they keep me on until the end of the year I may even get some kind of mat pay.
While I am pleased to be pregnant, I can't shake the felling that this will be viewed as pretty unimpressive. Is there a way to handle and spin the situation so that it all works out well? Ironically enough, I would want to go back. All just feels very complicated and worrisome...thoughts welcome!
