Well, my day just got more awkward...
in GP Moms
Back story: I posted this in Thankful Thursday but work has completely screwed me with Mat Leave and DH and I are currently scrambling to set up STD. What was supposed to be paid leave is now completely unpaid. I'm flipping out slightly. DH and I are having a talk tonight about my options since now the plan is to leave.
__________
My work just threw me a surprise baby shower. They got me a cake and purchased the baby monitor, Penn State onesies, and binkies!
I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship. They tear me down, just to throw in enough good to make me second guess leaving. However, my love cannot be bought!
DH and I are still going to discuss me leaving, but I had literally just gotten off the phone with DH talking about financials if I were to leave my job (I had stepped out of the office) when the surprised me. Nice, but totally awkward.

Re: Well, my day just got more awkward...
Seems like you're in a little bit of a pickle. That's messed up what they did about your leave. While it's nice they threw you a surprise shower, you still have to do what's best for you and your family. Good luck and hope it all works out.

Waiting on my baby girl
EDD 2/5/14
However, when we first discussed my maternity leave, I brought up pay. The response that the old HR manager gave me was that this "had happened before" and that they were able to get the other girl partial pay through STD for the full 6 weeks. I learned yesterday, as of 12/1, my company did away with STD for 2014 (they haven't even announced it yet - the only reason I know is that I approached him about my maternity leave).
Before they let go of the old HR manger, I asked about paperwork and he said that it "was being handled." That's where I feel angry. I was led to believe a plan was in place and it wasn't. And no one planned on telling me. If I didn't ask, I would have never known.
I just asked about LTD (I would get 2 weeks pay at 60%) and told him I wanted to see the paperwork and be active in the process. The new HR guy says he's "working on getting it." I feel like they are deliberately trying to screw me now.
