Last summer I had a miscarriage, at the time I told our directors and the general manager, who is also responsible for our HR. I specifically said that I did not want anyone else to know about it. I am quite a private person and work felt like a place where I could try and be normal and think about something else.
The GM and I have had some issues between us and I see our relationship as a work-based one only. She is someone I avoid if I can. I have now been told that the GM has told others about my miscarriage, in the middle of the office no less. There is no reason for her to be sharing this information. I feel completely violated by this, especially as there were close family and friends who I did not tell.
I have requested a meeting on Monday with a manager to discuss this, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to handle it?
The end result I am looking for is for her to leave me alone, and for this not to happen to anyone else at work. My due date was the beginning of the January, so I am feeling very delicate at the moment. I don't really feel strong enough to deal with this, but I cannot let her do this to me anymore.
