Hi all!
Just a thought going through my mind at the moment and would like some opinions?
I work in a small office, with another woman and a man. We both have given birth about 6 months apart from each other recently. She went on maternity leave before me and she was thrown a little goodbye cake-coffee gathering for the whole company to give their well wishes and send her off and it was so lovely. She also got a card organised with collection and gift of approximately £60. And then the team all went out for a lunch time meal, and my boss even went as far as paying for her meal.
A few months later I was ready to go on maternity. My last day, my boss comes into the office and says "sorry we haven't organised anything and we haven't got you a card. Maybe we can do something when the baby comes" I didn't really know what to say.. and also, nothing ever happened after I have birth. Also I had an absolutely terrible time with lots of time in NICU and still.. nothing.
AIBU to be a bit hurt by this? They've not even contacted me or anything to see how I am.
They don't really treat me with respect and have dumbed me down so much I've lost all confidence... It seems they pushed me out of meetings etc since I miscarried previously and had to have time off.
Me and this other woman practically do the same job but they've managed to swing it so that I get paid around two grades less and won't budge. I know I sound stupid for even staying there but I have no other work and like I said they've dumbed me down so much I just don't feel confident anymore.
