About to go on maternity leave & frustrated (Rant)

So I’m about to go on maternity leave. I wanted to go a few weeks before my due date just incase as I live about 40 miles from my work. So originally this week was supposed to be my last week, but 2 weeks ago, management asked me to delay it because they still haven’t found a temp for my job. I agreed to next week (9/9) being my last week. 2 weeks later they STILL haven’t found someone. They started looking super last minute & now management is taking their frustrations out on me when it is NOT my responsibility to find a temp or decide when to start looking. In the last week or so my boss got pissed off at me, literally red in the face because he wanted to insist that it was my job (it’s not) to clear off a desk that had a bunch…

2 weeks later they STILL haven’t found someone. They started looking super last minute & now management is taking their frustrations out on me when it is NOT my responsibility to find a temp or decide when to start looking.

In the last week or so my boss got pissed off at me, literally red in the face because he wanted to insist that it was my job (it’s not) to clear off a desk that had a bunch of old papers, etc. Some of the items were too heavy for me to lift at 8 months pregnant so I had a problem with this, let alone it not being my problem.
I left for a doctors appointment right after we discussed this. I returned the next morning to it all over my desk instead of him just throwing it away…… He made a giant mess & all of my things looked like they were thrown around…. I have a picture, but I’m not going to post it in fear of someone seeing this. But I found a trash can on wheels & just threw it away. It was just so petty….

NOW he keeps trying to just find things for people to give me to do. I am completely booked with things I need to complete by the end of next week. I feel like he’s trying to make me stay longer….

Also the rest of management has been breathing down my neck, literally walking in circles around my desk watching me, like they’re trying to find something to fire me for. Or like they’re all trying to get me to quit.

I already was about 50/50 on how I felt about coming back. But I don’t understand how they think this behavior will make me want to…. I’m just SO beyond fed up with everything & I really don’t care about anything at this point. I don’t care if they find a temp or not. I will not stay longer than next week.
