[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was this employee. I was doing multiple rounds of IVF and having repeat miscarriages. I had no control over the timing of procedures and I was terrified to travel because the first miscarriage happened on a work trip and I was so scared it would happen again.

I was the only woman on an all-male team and people assumed I had no plans to have children. It was the kind of office environment where sharing I was trying to get pregnant could have cost me promotions - something I didn’t want to risk if I might never have a successful pregnancy. And as you might imagine, I didn’t want an accommodation for this reason either.

I flew under the radar as long as I could, finally had a baby and then left because yes as expected it impacted my promotion opportunities.

Just to give you some insight into an employee side of things…[/quote]

I’m not sure why any of this matters. You were entitled to your privacy. Your employer was entitled to an employee fulfilling the job requirements. If your job required travel, you failed to perform. Of course you didn’t receive promotions. Did you really expect them?[/quote]
