Now I'm going to be engorged and uncomfortable and it's going to throw off my schedule. I think meetings for a dozen people should be scheduled around my boobs.
I've been in meetings that have run long and I just excuse myself and leave to pump. Especially when the meeting runs over by 2 hours. I feel no guilt!
In the beginning I had a coworker (who sits right by me and knows my pumping times) schedule me for back-to-back meetings and then would get ticked if I had to decline one for pumping. So I put an am/pm break and lunch on there every day. I told the boss I could flex those times if need be but I couldn't have btb meetings w/o a break anymore. He totally understood and supported this.
A week after I put them on another coworker commented that I'm 'supposed to have my break times on my calendar' so they all knew when I wasn't available. Funny, no one else had ever done that for their ciggy or potty breaks.
Re: I hate it when my boss schedules a meeting during my pumping time.
I feel your pain. This happens to me all the time.
agreed
