I’m due back to work in 4 weeks time after being on maternity leave for 14 months.
I work in a large office and my employer throughout the whole pandemic hasn’t sent anyone to work from home!
I’m 35 have a BMI of 40 and I’m asthmatic, I also have psoriasis for which I am unmedicated.
I’ve been extremely careful, limiting social contact, avoiding supermarkets etc since last year.
I’ve written to my employer as asked if I can wfh but today have received a written response to my request which states that due to business requirements, I will need to be back into the office.
I’m due to work 3 days a week and my son will go to nursery.
I’ve weighed up my risks and I feel like it’s too much of a risk me being in the office and my son being at nursery.
My husband wfh and has done since last March!
I feel like my son would benefit so much from nursery but I just don’t think it’s worth the risk to me, especially if it means I could leave him without a mother.
I was hoping I would be vaccinated by the time I go back to work but I haven’t heard a single thing, I had a Drs appointment last week and they confirmed I am group 6 and need to wait my turn.
I can’t extend my return to work date as I’ve already done this and used all of my annual leave allowance.
Hate what Covid has done to us all :(
