2nd Trimester
Ok so private emails should not
be on a public email address. At our office the front desk email account is not assigned to just one person. My company does background checks and has lots of orders, criminal records etc come in on one main email account.
I have a private email address because I do multiple task here is the office. One task is to cover for the co worker that enters all our orders. Well jsut a few minutes ago I am checking the email to make sure all work is getting done (seeing as my co worker already left for the day) and I find an email. None the less it's a personal email in a public account but what is worse is that it's about me. So of course Icontinue reading.
Turns out it is between two of my cowokers talking about my weight gain blah blah in my pregnancy. "are we sure she is doing ok, I never have known any one to be that small at six months" "I hope she is taking care of herself" "Is she still pregnant" WTF so on and so on. I get some of these comments quite often because I am small. However it's usually directed towards me and I can answer them and explain that yes every thing is fine. Dr says baby is growing wonderfully. But behind my back kind of irks the hell out of me.
Why would I intentionally not be taking care of the baby, why would I be lying about the baby being ok???
It's jsut very irritating and the emails should have been done on another email account, or at least deleted of the public email account.

Re: Ok so private emails should not
I would print out two copies and bring it to their desks, saying "Here, I think you left this where I could see it." Followed, of course, by a swift poke to each with Roosky's new cattle prod.
ouch that's brutal... you should ask to talk to both of them on monday and jsut say well... I read about your concerns in the public email so here... let me tell you directly what's going on.
HAHA I'd love to see their faces!
I know what you mean. First of all, none of their fvcking business. Second, they care enough to talk about it in email? Lame!
Earlier this year, before I was even pregnant, I found an email between two people in my 6-people department talking about HOW FAT I AM. Because, you know, that clearly affects their work. This is why I didn't want to tell them I was pregnant -- I can only imagine their emails to one another now!
((hugs)) People are asshats.
that's pretty fvcking inconsiderate. She'd be getting a mouthful from me the next time saw her. what a wench.
ditto
I have them printed out because I was going to show DH. One of them is still here. I know I want to say something to her but I also don't want to just start drama in the office. I know they technically did but shouldn't I be the bigger person lol I don't wanna be
But I am scared I might say something way too harsh today at work has not been a very stress free day.
Ha I think I may do this, she is walking out the door as we speak. But she would get it on monday. And I wouldn't be being too big of a ***.
Jealous bitches.
(And now that horrible 80's song "Hey jealousy" is stuck in my head)
Ditto. Great that their concerned but when you have to go behind someones back and gossip it doesn't really seem genuine.
B!tches.
You have done nothing but make my day today. You crack me up
And it has been a pleasure! So what are you going to do about these bitches? ::rolls up sleeves, makes fist::
I like the idea of printing them out and saying "Thanks but I've got this covered". ...you could also give the printed emails to their boss and ask the boss to talk to them about it. That way you're not playing into office politics and gossip, but actually playing by the rules so to speak. People need to learn to mind their own damn business. Yeah, you're pregnant. That's obvious. But the details are none of their business!
ew. how annoying.
FWIW, I was that small at 24 weeks. You're fine and those jerks need to mind their own business!
I work in an office that has this type of sh** going on all the time. No one talks directly to each other. All "concerns" are taken to the people around you, never directly to you. When I find out that there is "concern" (through eavesdropping) it makes me feel 10 times worse than it would if they had just come to me.?
