Still you collect your paycheck gleefully knowing that you are a useless piece of crap, and that you can you not be fired but your job has to be held open for you.

While I loathe Trump, this is one thing I hope he changes immediately. No more pregnancy/pumping special privileges.

I always wonder who these people are...I guess either

(a) Trolls
(b) Bitter, misogynistic men who want to blame their own career failures on anything other than their own lack of ability
(c) Jealous women

I also wonder how they ooze their way to forums for pregnant moms. Maybe through "Recent Posts."

If workplace accommodations bother you, go work in some part of the world where they don't exist--for you or for anybody else.

Everybody's performance ebbs and flows. It's not an issue that is unique to pregnancy. Men and women are responsible for eldercare, baby care, go through their own illnesses, whatever.

And someday that PP will need medical leave or flexibility because their mom or dad is dying, or their sister has dementia, or they get cancer and have to go to to chemo and are too sick to work, or they will be dealing with a major family crisis or tragedy and their whole work performance will suffer. And then they will realize what goes around comes around and giving colleagues grace because we are all humans and work is not the measure of our success in life or our worth and that sometimes shit matters more than being an American workaholic, like family, and relationships, and quality of life. Until then they will
Continue to be a bitter, sad troll.
