I work at a small business, and I'm getting increasingly fed up with the attitude of the other senior members of staff. Ever since I announced my pregnancy, I have been regularly accused of having 'baby brain', I am regularly embarrassed in front of visiting sales reps when they are told that I've 'recently' had a baby, or that I 'only' work part-time as some sort of excuse (for what, I don't know). Before my baby, I worked full time, now I work 3 days a week. In this small business, I am the only person doing my role, and since going part-time I now basically work super hard doing my old role in half the time. I'm just feeling really down about it this afternoon after being called by my boss asking why I hadn't done something (I'm certain that I had, but obviously didn't save it properly). Again, told I'm 'cracking up' and to enjoy the rest of my 'day-off'. It was said in some sort of jest, except that I'm sat here now crying in frustration.
I have a long term plan of how to get out of my current role, but this will take a couple of years and involve another baby in the meantime!
The sad thing is that it's a really nice place to work in, it's just incredibly patriarchal, and toxic to working mothers (I'm the only one, they have always said that they won't hire women with babies....
)
What can I do to make them realise that what they're doing is crap? I've worked there almost a decade, and have a good general relationship with everyone otherwise.
