I work from home in a different city from main office, so I had to tell work I am expecting DC2 via email, with an attached formal letter for their records. Emailed to MD, his PA (also a friend), CEO and direct boss.
This was Monday 6pm, and now at 9am Thursday I still haven't heard anything. I knew they'd all be annoyed, but I didn't expect to hear nothing, from four people. What would you expect to be reasonable?
Last time I told them in person, but this time around my husband is working overseas so I can't get to London as I have DS1's nursery drop-off and pick-up each day.
I told them 4 weeks earlier than I wanted to because I am really suffering with morning sickness and I needed to explain my reduction in efficiency as I spend a lot of time in the bathroom/lying down.
I emailed one of them about a work assignment, and asked at the end of the message if the pregnancy email sent the day before had been received. Nothing. So I'm now even waiting for replies to do with work, because they seemingly don't want to acknowledge the pregnancy email yet.
Just interested to know what others think of the situation? Should I just sit tight?
