worth making a complaint or not?

[toomanyshoes]

So looks like we're heading down the path of another miscarriage.

Just to rub a little salt into my wounds, I rang work to tell them I wouldn't be able to come to work for the rest of the week and why, I'm still floored by the response I got from my female boss.... "thats a shame we're already so short on people"...

thats all I got, a guilt trip!

so I'm thinking of making a formal complaint, worth it or not?

*excuse the spelling mistakes, kind of overwhelmed with sadness, anger and a million other things*

Sorry your boss was an insensitive idiot I'd wait a little while until you aren't super emotional and if you are still angry/upset about it make a complaint or put it in writing. I know I couldn't talk about what was happening without breaking down when I had both mine.

If you have the strength to do it, then YES!! (I say this because I always want to and then never have the guts!) That is completely inappropriate and disgusting to say.

Im so sorry you are on this path

Oh man, I am sorry that on top of the grief of facing the loss of your pregnancy, you also have to face the cruelty of insensitive, selfish people That is not fair.

Who would you be able to complain to? If you can, then, when you are ready, I would. Even if the person in question is simply told to remember sensitivity for others etc. Sometimes people just dont get it and lose perspective and I hope that this is just the case and not stemming from cold cruel-heartedness.

I agree.
If you feel you are up to it now, do it. Otherwise, write down the particulars and come back to it when you are feeling up to it. That is inappropriate and insensitive, and nobody should have to hear that.

That's terrible! What an insensitive woman. Yes, I would complain but I would wait (as a PP suggested) until I was feeling calmer so that I am not written off a 'emotional and hormonal'.

I hope this little bub surprises you and sticks. I'm sorry you are going through this.

Wow. Both you and forshelby have had really nasty bosses. I'm so sorry you are going through this and when you are up to it complain. Huge huge hugs xxx
