I’ll try and keep to the basics here.
There is an internal promotion that’s come up at work and 3 of us on the same level that have applied for it. I’ve been doing the role itself informally for approximately for some time which I’ve not struggled with as I’m at that level. The other two are fairly new to the current role. I was initially disappointed I wasn’t promoted simply as I’ve been doing the role anyway. But apparently it’s because the manager (he isn’t very hands on) hasn’t been privy to my work and only “heard” about me. I don’t really have much contact with the manager.
My worry is that I’m 19 weeks pregnant they already know Im pregnant before the role was announced because I’m suffering with with a pregnancy related condition. I was hospitalised and in total have had approx 4 weeks off on two separate occasions. I am taking medications which is helping the overall symptoms and I’m able to work again (we are still WFH). I’m worried that they are going to take into consideration my condition and if I’m capable for the job? I understand I’m protected but could they potentially look at my overall capability? I’m really anxious about the whole situation and can't really find answers online
