[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]

Said the man. In the UK my friends all begin their maternity leave in their third trimesters anyway because everyone who has been pregnant knows how difficult that last month is. No one wants to be around a pregnant lady worried she might go into labor or have her water break at work. No one wants to be in a meeting with you when you sneeze pee or watch your belly contort from baby’s acrobatics or watch how you can’t stop burping cause there’s a baby in your stomach and your heartburn is through the roof or hear you Yelp from lightning crotch. Getting dressed and going into the office proves nothing about an employees dedication or work ethic or ability to get the job done. I teleworker the last months of both my pregnancies and everyone understood and was glad for me to be at home, cause they didn’t want to have to worry about taking me to the hospital. Proving you can suffer more by coming into the office doesn’t provide anything. Ignore the misogynist. [/quote]
