Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="slayer" data-source="post: 1706505" data-attributes="member: 229360"><p>Thank you so much for your replies. I am back at work on Monday after half term and to be honest, I am dreading it. This incident has really shattered my confidence and made me lose a lot of trust in my employer. From now on, I will not be disclosing the reason/s for my time off work whether that is due to a pregnancy, miscarriage or diabetes related. I will let HR know, but not my boss. I have also decided that during the mediation session or meeting with my boss I will make my thoughts and feelings clear about being discriminated against. In addition, I will let her know that in future if I apply for a position I do not want my health or pregnancy status to be held against me. I have worked so hard this year and now I literally feel like putting in the bare minimum effort - I know I didn't go into teaching for this! Part of me also wants to leave the profession. At the school I work at we are having meetings every other day. I have to mark over 200 assessments for my classes every half term and stay behind for over an hour to provide Year 11 with intervention. This is on top of the extra responsibilities placed upon us by our head of department.</p></blockquote><p></p>
