Horrible boss

[JuneBaby20]

Hey :)

I was wondering if any of you have “horrible bosses” or deal with difficult situations in work.
Since I am pregnant (now 11 weeks) I have been extremely tired and have lack of concentration. I have to admit that I have taken a step back in work (retail) and it is very physical work but my boss is making me feel guilty about it. The way she talks to me is so different.

I have no morning sickness at all, never had to take a second break during my shifts, never phoned in sick and always on time.

How do you girls deal with pressure in work? It’s bringing me down now and I feel even more stressed just knowing that she is in work same days as me.

I had a chat with her and she said she is not apologising for her way of speaking as she doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Said she won’t “pussy foot” around me.

It’s bringing me down now :(

I have a lovely boss, but deal with a lot of difficult people at work. Unless she is actively making your working life more difficult or bullying you then unfortunately there is very little that can be done. Easier said than done but you need to try and ignore it, its probably not about you but something going on in her own head. That being said if you think she is bullying you based on the fact you are pregnant you could look to escalate it to her line manger?

Sorry youre having a difficult time.

I feel really bad for you. My boss was far from understanding and made my life a misery so I quit as I couldn't put up with it anymore. No HR or anyone above to speak to and it was stressing me so much and I was made to feel guilty for getting pregnant after suffering a miscarriage that they were aware of as well and suffering severe hyperemesis this time I just couldn't handle it so left. No understanding of being off sick in hospital or anything.

If you have HR or someone above your boss try to get some help if you can cause no one should be treated any differently for being pregnant.
