[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I ever had a co-worker or employee want to take a month off before having the baby, I would have been flabbergasted.  That's completely insensitive, thoughtless and unprofessional.  That last month is making sure everything is complete, to make your co-workers burden LESS when you are gone.  If you do this and then resign, I would not expect a good reference!![/quote]

Sorry you feel this way, but I have seen many expecting mothers take time off prior to giving birth.  Perhaps we work in different worlds.  Also, I have to resign.  What do you want from me?  To take off one week, give birth, and come back to work?  Are you crazy?

This is my baby.  It's 10x more important than co-workers.  Sorry.[/quote]

Baby, yes - more important. Using up your vacation before maternity or resignation? Inconsiderate. Taking a month off is a huge deal. We have people who do it to travel to their home country or take a great vacation. They would never take 4 weeks off before taking another 3 months off to take care if an actual baby. It is clear you don't value this job or have any kind of work ethic. Good luck as a mom though![/quote]

Why is it that because she values doing work for her family, it is seen as she has no work ethic? Her loyalty is to her family, not to a job where she can be easily replaced.

There is no honoring in dragging yourself to the ground just to gain approval from the communist crew. I mean feminist.

[b]Good for you OP for putting your family first. I have kids and I don't leave the house after 37 weeks because I am tired and cranky. So take good care of yourself and that baby. Don't listen to these women who treat their kids like accessories.[/b] [/quote]

1000000% agree with this.  I don't know what it is with some of the posters here, but it's clear they don't know how corporate America works.  Companies do not give two craps about you.  They want employees to be 100% loyal to them, but they are never loyal to their employees.  I've seen it many times, over and over again where companies screw over employees.

Sorry, but all you people who say she should think about her job first are dead wrong.  A job is just a job.  Family and baby are 100x more important.  If this is her plan, it is her plan and you have zero right to attack her.  To everyone who says she's screwing her co-workers over, did you read the post where she says she told all her plans back in the spring???  That was months ago.  If her HR department or manager didn't approve or like it they should have told her then.  Telling her two weeks before she was planning on taking her "approved leave" is wrong.

To all the attorneys, if you read she clearly states HR told her how many hours of vacation time she has.  So, she knows.  She's not calculating the hours herself.  So, maybe you don't know everything company and their vacation policy.  Sheesh.

Most of you should be ashamed.[/quote]
