Hello All!
I have an issue with work (who doesn't?).
What it is, is, I'm 7 months into my first pregnency, and I feel like I'm starting to struggle a bit. You see, I'm feeling heavy/achy/can't sleep - all the usual symptoms.
So, the other day I went in to speak with my normally lovely boss, explained the situation, and asked her if I could work a few days from home a week as a way to cope better with my workload. And basically, she seemed really, really reluctant, and more or less hinted that I should go on maternity leave early. I can't afford to do this. She said she would have to ask someone else (she's the MD?!). But, she's away today and all of next week... so, when will I get an answer?
Anyway...
What really bugs me is, other members of staff do it. Work from home, full time - all I want is a few days just to help me out. When I pointed this out to her she said that, to work from home was part of their original contract. I mean, WTF? My circumstances have changed, and I do feel as though I have always tried my best to be a good member of staff - I even learned to drive (at my own expense), because it would suit my role better. So now I need something, it just seems like I'm not getting the support I need.
Can anyone advise?
