I am so sick of my workplace. I'm almost in my third trimester, and my boss just can't seem to bring himself to wear a mask around me. In fact, when we have meetings, he actually takes his mask off. It really baffles me, as he has a degree in one of the sciences and a masters degree as well - he must surely understand the science behind mask-wearing, and he knows that I am pregnant and nervous about Covid.

I work in a school in a different country. It's still the law here that teachers and students should be wearing masks, but the headteacher has removed that rule for our school. When I pointed out that it was illegal, he basically said he didn't care. I've raised it in writing many times, and he just ignores me now. He knows I won't denounce the school to the authorities because he would just sack me, and I need the job as I'm pregnant and my husband has a chronic illness and can't work. It's so shit! I just feel like other people are so selfish and shit sometimes.

I'm also a teacher but in the UK and the rules seem completely stupid. I'm currently approaching my third trimester and scared of getting Covid. Nobody wears masks, I have children allowed into school when their siblings are Covid positive, multiple adults cover my class due to sickness (a number if which have tested positive) and parents send their children in with symptoms but not LFT done. I feel your frustration. Nobody seems to care about mine and my unborn babies safety x

I'm not a teacher, but I just wanted to say how truly sorry I am that you are both in this position.

It's so unfair.

Yeah, I definitely feel like teachers are forgotten about, for sure.
