So i came back to work after 2 weeks off as I was getting married. I noticed, that after i got married I started getting left out of meetings, certain projects and wasn’t asked to go on long haul business trips any longer. I started to feel crazy and paranoid so I bit the bullet and went to the HR manager. SHE (yes SHE) told me that it was ‘to give me a break’ – I said, why? i haven’t been sick, I’m fine – why would i need a break? SHE said – well, the guys (directors) decided its probably best to leave you to it as we assume you’ll be having a baby as soon as possible, you know, it stands to reason.
I saw RED – and asked why they came to that conclusion.
‘well, you’re 36… and if not now, when?’
I told them its none of their business when or if i CHOOSE to have children. I was met with blank stares, nods and shrugs.
I feel like ive been left behind.
