want to staple her mouth shut

My supervisor at work is really pissing me off. She has been in the br several times at the same time I was getting very sick. So I finally told her two days ago that indeed I am pg. I asked her PLEASE do let tell anyone yet.

Since then she has not shut up! We work next to 6 other people and she has pointed at my stomach and said "oh yeah, you can totally tell" and "so do you want a boy or a girl" and "have you picked out an OB yet" and "so are you just sick in the morning or all the time"

I am really upset and ready to slap her. She said "Nobody is listening to me" but they are. I really do not know what to say to her and I am so furious every time she speaks to me. ?Help!

Re: want to staple her mouth shut

  • what a biitch!!  can you complain to HR?  i think you need to tell her you really don't want to discuss this with her at work when others can clearly hear and you would really appreciate her respecting that.  after you spell it out to her and if she keeps it up i think you have a real legit complaint there.  also i would just totally ignore her when she asks any of those questions.

  • Punch her in the throat.  Oh wait... That would be mean.  Never mind.  Stupid pregnancy hormones...  

     Stick out tongue

    ...
  • I'd go to Human Resources. I have a co-worker that I am dreading telling about my pregnancy - I'll have to have a very loud discussion about the fetus every day I see her once I do spill it. I already get grilled about my dog & cat, which I've learned to tolerate, but the relationship she has with her adult daughter is rather frightening, so I'm concerned that baby discussions will be unbearable. Good luck in getting your supervisor to STFU!
  • Ohhh I would punch her in the face! that would piss me off so bad. My old boss did that to one of the girls at work. The girl asked her not to tell..... but the fat ass blabbed her mouth. Needless to say, the girl reported our boss to HR and she got in alot of trouble and had to do a public apology
  • That would piss me off too!

    that would piss me off.  What a whore!  Apparently she has never been pregnant? 
  • punching her in the throat is exactly what I have been wanting to do! Thank you all for giving me the okay to go ahead. lol

    if she keeps it up i will go to h.r, she has alienated and betrayed so many people with her fat ass mouth.

    thanks for letting me vent :)?

  • That's unbelievably unprofessional. I'd talk to your HR rep. She ignored your requests and is discussing your medical condition with/in front of other employees. My company has zero tolerance for that kind of behavior.

    This happened to me, but it was with a co-worker (a substitute classroom aide in my classroom). I had to tell her because I teach students with disabilities and being pregnant limits some of what I can and cannot do (lifting in/out wheelchairs, stuff like that).  She was in my room one day and ever since she talks about it around other people like they are either deaf or dumb. I finally just asked her to be quiet right in the middle of her talking - it was a bit rude, but she got the point.. I have not really had a problem since then, but now its not as big of a deal because we are telling people now.

    Good Luck though :-)

  • Obviously what she did to you unfair. She basically stole your joy and took away your ability to control who knows what. I hope it helps hearing from us women who agree that what she did is messed up and yes you where wronged.

    I also hope that you find someway to get control of this situation and/or gain some peace. Definitely check with HR like the other women have suggested.

    Do you feel like she is being noticeably derogatory and like this could be considered harrasment in the work place?
