Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Pumping at work . Im annoyed.

I stopped pumping at work 2 months ago. And my boss just said he saw an article in the chronicle about it. He said because we are a small office they do not have to abide by the laws and provide me with a place to pump. When I was pumping here at work I had to use the HR guys office since we dont have a breakroom or even a bathroom where I could do this. Im just annoyed. I stopped pumping at work because it was a hassle I had to kick the HR guy out every day and he  would roll his eyes and throw his hands in the air each time that I borrowed his office. I hate co-workers.

 

What am I supposed to do if they do not have to provide me a place to pump? pump in my car?! Next time around Im going to put my foot down.

  • What kind of jackass boss would tell you this when you aren't even pumping at work?

    I'd look into those laws if I were you. :)

  • Actually, yes, I would pump in my car!  For my own sanity more than anything else.  And I could listen to the radio and relax.

  • What an effing assshole.  Whether he "has to" or not - it's good practice to do so - happy, cared about employees are GOOD employees.  And to bring that up now, after you're not even pumping anymore - they can all go suck eggs (your boss AND your HR guy.  Two douchebags.) 

    Wheee!

  • I plan on it. i cannot believe they do not have to provide a place for this. I wasnt abusing my time either. I was using my 2 breaks during the day to pump. I was back at my desk quickly and timely. Ugh.

  • If I had that boss, I would be very tempted to get a nursing cover and pump at my desk, just to see their faces.  I bet that would make them a lot more pro-active on finding you a private place!!  :P
