I didn't know what board to post this on...
For context, I have an office job (wont fully disclose the sector as I want to remain as anon as poss) but it is known to be quite two faced and is disliked by many people who have worked in this sector before. I work for a rather large company however my office is small and I am the youngest. I am also pregnant, I am due in 4 months, my company are aware of this.
I am good at what I do, for my age and experience, and I always try do my best and also help my colleagues with tasks too if I am quiet. I am never late, rarely have days off sick (even when I was suffering with morning sickness) I provide proof of all maternity appointments and always give 2 weeks notice at very least. However I am constantly getting picked on, whether its snidey comments, complaints to people higher up, everyone going silent when I walk into the room or blatantly being ignored or pushed out of conversation/ team talks.
I got digs thrown at me because our printer wont work? I don't use the printer for my own use so I don't know how that could be my fault?
I also have been spoken down on because I want to take holiday before Mat leave (which I am entitled to do) and by the sounds of it, I am not allowed?
I usually love working, but the last few weeks I am incredibly drained and unhappy. But I cant leave due to being pregnant and I really need the earnings before I go off and during MAT leave (I only get 6 weeks 90% pay then SMP but still)
I considered voicing it to HR, but they are close with colleagues and it would be incredibly awkward in the office
I just want to know what I can do as I am really struggling
