Hello all!
I'll be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I work in a clinic and I'm their only receptionist and secretary. The people I work for are older clinicians so I pretty much run the show for them when it comes to computerised systems and diary organisation.
I've worked there for a year and a half and recently they've requested that I try to take my holiday when they take theirs (1 month in August) because running everything without me is too stressful for them - I agreed to take half my holiday in August and the other half when I need it (because I need it in other months!) I've got lots of holiday booked this month due to various events, including my honeymoon to Paris on Thursday.
When I was on holiday yesterday I got an email asking if I can come in early / stay late / come in on my days off to make up for being on holiday. This seems a little unfair.. I am allowed holidays (contractually) without having to make time up surely? I think they see giving me holidays as like a favour they are doing me. This has caused a bit of tension and I am worried they are starting to think I am not reliable.
I wasn't going to tell them about my pregnancy until after 12 weeks, as I want to tell my family and friends first but now I am feeling uncertain about my place at work and slightly worried they might try and get rid of me before I tell them.
