I've been looking for a promotion at work for a while. I keep being told I'm ready, but twice in the last week I've been told I need to build my 'emotional resilience' in feedback.
I've not cried in the office, had a meltdown, said I couldn't cope, etc.
I have, however, had a miscarriage recently. I didn't work in the days leading up to the miscarriage (when I started to bleed heavily) and had some time off after. A total of 6 days out of the office.
Both people who told me I needed more resilience knew about the miscarriage (the only two who did know, and had to be told).
AIBU to think that a) no man would be told he needed more emotional resilience in a similar situation and b) do I really need to have it anyway over a miscarriage.
Other than the time out of the office, I haven't let the miscarriage or my emotions affect my work. I've had no criticism of the job I'm doing (the opposite, some really positive feedback in the last few weeks).
