So here is my dilemma and I need some advice.
I lost my job in March while I was still pregnant but I was quickly hired in April. I disclosed that I was pregnant during my interview so they knew what they were getting into before hiring me. About 4 months into the job, I started to get burned out. I was leaving the house roughly at 9am and not getting back until 8pm. The traffic to this job is awful (1hr-1/1/2hr each way) Also the job was not what I had expected either.
Now that I just started maternity leave (8 weeks Short term disability-80% pay), I am considering not going back to work afterwards but I also feel extremely guilty to do this to my manager and coworkers.
I am not sure how I should handle this. I can't imagine leaving my baby for 11 hours each day since he was born under weight but also quitting my job makes me seem like a really horrible employee (and seem like I was using the company for their benefits).
What would be the best way to proceed?
