I am absolutely livid!
I am 10 weeks pregnant and had told my line manager about my pregnancy approx 2 weeks ago due to some sickness while at work, advised I do NOT want anyone else to know yet as after a previous loss I want to wait until after 12 weeks scan before telling people.
I have come back in today after 2 days off for a funeral, 1st thing our regional manager said to me when he arrived in the office is 'I hear congratulations are in order, you should have told me'
I am livid to the point of wanting to walk out now and not come back, what right does she have to share this when I asked for it to be kept confidential?! She was the only person who knew about this and I cannot believe that she has told them. As a manager surely her duty to me as an employee is confidentiality when requested?
She hadn't warned me that he knew, and so far hasn't mentioned it to apologise or anything else so I was completely blindsided by it this morning, now the more I think about it the more and more angry I get. there are only me and her based in the office on a full time basis, everyone else comes in and out depending on what's going on (site based) I haven't needed time off for anything and it hasn't affected my work.
Am I right to think this is not allowed?
