[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a medical reason not to telework while the rest of your collegues have to suck it up the commute, get dressed in the morning, juggle their own families/kid drop-offs, and otherwise be accountable? As your coworker, I'd be annoyed that you get this special treatment for no good reason except that it's a personal convenience...and your due date could go 2 weeks beyond what the calendar says - so a total of 5 "extra" weeks of teleworking perks over the rest of us. It may look bad OP - optics and all - especially with your work load, I presume, getting off-loaded onto your collegues while on maternity leave. [/quote] Um, yeah, she has a reason and it's called late pregnancy! WTF is wrong with you? And who cares about your annoyance? - oh, that's right, no one, so you can just stuff it. It's brainwashed, selfish creeps like you that insist on keeping workplace standards so crappy not just for women in the late stages of pregnancy, but for everyone. It's ok to acknowledge people have lives and human needs and for the workplace to have some common sense and compassion. I am glad I am in a senior management position now where I can make humane decisions on accommodation requests like this (OP, I would absolutely approve you to continue teleworking and agree with others that you should ask)...and also take appropriate action with the sort of bitter, bean-counting employees who need to be shoved out the door.[/quote] +1000 [/quote] late pregnancy is not a reason for a normal textbook pregnancy.
