Maternity Leave Etiquette

[Lulu]

Go straight over her head and speak to your old boss. Just to call and touch base?

GL!

This is a little hard. Basically when on maternity leave your job is someone elses. Remember that we aren't even guaranteed to get our "own" job back when we return, just one of equal standing. Your situation is a little odd with you working whilst on leave so it's hard to comment on. I personally am going to completely turn off to what's going on whilst I'm off and am prepared to go back to whatever the situation is when the time comes. I just hope my replacement lasts as I have a complex position that has a history of people walking out of it. I will visit the office only to show bubs around the place. I think you need to try to just shut off work until you go back.

Call me cyncical but does she have designs on your job?

Seems weird that she's suddenly trying to lock you out...especially if she's a friend. What possible motive could she have for that?

I had a year of maternity leave and I honestly walked out of there at 34 weeks pregnant and didn't give the place another thought until the day before I had to go back You're very committed

Hi sweetie girl,

Yes I agree that you have every right to know what is going on. After all, you are the one who is going to have to clean up her mess. Maybe she didn't want you see how she had mucked the place up.

Let me know how you got on. You know who I am.

Love ya lots,

Coralie
