I had joined my workplace(hospital) 3 months ago,
And I was 12 weeks Pregnant.
I decided not to reveal my pregnancy at the time of joining as I was apprehensive sharing such news at beginning of my job as people usually judge pregnant workers as someone who doesn’t want to put in 100% effort here.
So now at 24weeks I decided to ask to give me less physically demanding posting (my work is very physically demanding) so revealed that I am pregnant.
My supervisor criticised me for not telling this at time of joining and how ethically wrong it was on my part to not disclose this information.
How I kind of was dishonest with the organisation and only joined because I wanted maternity benefits.
(Which is not the case as this job was my dream job and I had to take a tough decision leaving my previous job which had much better maternity benefits than current one)
She somehow made me feel like a very bad and dishonest person.
Now I am sad and feeling low.
