    Coworker refuses to use sick leave, even though I’m 5 weeks pregnant

    @tseleng Thank so much for providing sources! I’ll be reading through all of them asap. And you’re correct, quitting my job is super extreme, but it may be a necessary nuclear option. I have a very niche roll in my org that requires me to be in-person 5 days per week with access to specific...

    Coworker refuses to use sick leave, even though I’m 5 weeks pregnant

    @his_word_is_truth It’s amazing how you’ve twisted just about everything I’ve said. I didn’t say “Punish all those who get a cold”. I just think it’s rude someone would show up to work when they brag about having 200+ sick hours to spare. On top of that, I very clearly stated concern for the 1st...

    Coworker refuses to use sick leave, even though I’m 5 weeks pregnant

    @stefanm I absolutely agree with you and I’ve seen similar statistics in research articles. I’ve recently seen so much data on fevers during the 1st trimester and I’ve 100% wound myself up. My anxiety had been nonexistent until all this started. And some backstory: Infertility/miscarriage runs...

    Coworker refuses to use sick leave, even though I’m 5 weeks pregnant

    My fiancée (32NB) and myself (30F) just found out we’re roughly 5 weeks pregnant this past weekend. This will be our first pregnancy/baby and we’re so excited to see where this journey takes us. But I’m struggling to get my hopes up, especially since I work with an asshole. My coworker (50F)...
