Hello everyone,
I am a Jan MTB too. I been reading the posts frequently. But have not been really active in my contributions.
But it really makes my day to read that there are so many laws protecting pregnant woman.
Let me share my sad story:
I just joined my company for about 6 months and i was pregnant. Now about 12 weeks preggie.
Last week, i caught the stomach flu virus with flu, cough. Worse still, i pass the virus to my daughter who is barely 2 years old. I have got 2 days MC from GP. And my direct boss who is a lady sent me an sms that follows:" Hope that you are really resting at home"
Huaw, i was damn pissed when i see this sms. This is the 2nd time that i am on MC since my pregnancy. Though i have severe ms, i still dragged myself to work.
I can take it lying down to hear that from a lady boss.
I just cannot believe it that my ex boss who is a man is more understanding than a woman.
However, i strongly believe in this. The world is round. What goes around comes around.
Till today, i am still having the flu but here i am working in the office passing the virus to people.
