Im sorry thats been your experience. You will still be able to progress, just after a pause. Try not to let it affect the joy of your pregnancy. And remember they cant discriminate against you for being pregnant.
Thank you both 🥰 I definitely feel a bit down about it. It was just a very strange reaction xx
Some people don’t know/understand the appropriate way to respond to such (lovely!!) news - any negative responses are a reflection on them, not you 🙏🏼 you also don’t need to justify your circumstances. And as mentioned in previous comment, they can’t discriminate for being pregnant
That's really sad 🙁 you will obviously take time off for maternity leave but you're not quitting and not unable to progress in the role. You'll just have to pause work for however many months you go on leave. It's quite unfair for them to word it like that - your development plan may need adjusting in light of you taking leave, but they should still care about helping you progress! Sorry you had small minded responses
