Telling Work

So, I was planning to tell my boss today that i'm pg, but I don't think I can do it. I'm so scared to do it. I don't know why!!! Also, she has such a big mouth that within minutes the entire office will know.

But since I'm planning to take a long time off, I need to tell them soon so that they can hire a temp for me. Why am I so nervouse. WTF is wrong with me, just say it!!!! grrrrr.

Re: Telling Work

  • Good luck - it will go fine.  I was nervous too, so had to schedule a meeting with my boss to force myself to tell her.

  • I was so nervous too, and had no idea why!! Try to sit down with her at the end of the day if you can (I waited until a Friday afternoon) and just remember that this is good news!
  • Don't stress. It'll be fine! I was terrified to tell my boss' because I had only been working at the school for a few months and one of them is a bit intense at times, but they were all really excited for me and wanted to do anything they could to make my job easier!
  • I was nervous too, since I haven't been there more than a year. They were so excited. I work with a bunch of older ladies who are so excited to be going through this whole process with me.

    Great idea...so you can't back out or keep postponing it.

  • I was super nervous too.  My boss even called me out on it.  When I finally told her what was up she goes "Why are you so red and nervous - this is good news, you should be excited!!!"  Which of course made me turn even more red.  You will feel good after you do it - just go get it over with!!!

    GL!!!

  • I still haven't told my boss yet. I am required to give 4 weeks notice I think... No Hurry but I will probably do it soon
  • I was so nervous telling work I could hear my heart pounding in my ears as I was walking to the conference room with my boss! It is ridiculous considering I've been married for almost 4 years and worked at the company for 3! But it's like a little part of me felt like an unwed teenage mother! So stupid.

    GL! You have to do it sooner or later, so you might as well rip the bandaid off now. Also, if you wait too long after 16 weeks people might question why you didn't tell sooner.

  • Well it looks like I HAVE to do it today. Someone just totally outed me in the copy room and I'm sure it's spreading like wildfire threw the entire office right now.  I have a meeting at 3.  I have been here 5 years, so it really isn't a big deal, but your right. Im going to rip the bandaid off!!! haha
