Follow-up to pregnancy announcement

So, I announce my pregnancy to my employer and I receive an answer by email days later, inviting me to a meeting to talk performance issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/uk249f/announce_pregnancy_boss_wants_to_meet_to_talk/i7odkjh/?context=3 The meeting went very badly. They didn't raise any positive contributions I made (and I had a whole list of it), citing mistakes that were caught in the validation process and the fact that I don't take as much initiatives as they expected. I didn't receive any formal training and since the beginning of my employment, expectations were unclear at best and unrealistic at worse. My day is filled with tasks that demand knowledge from graphic design to programming. They don't have any process of revision, and just say they expect near-perfect work. I am very stressed and I sleep badly since then. I am not perfect in any way, but I work really hard and I feel that they will be worst…

The meeting went very badly. They didn't raise any positive contributions I made (and I had a whole list of it), citing mistakes that were caught in the validation process and the fact that I don't take as much initiatives as they expected.

I didn't receive any formal training and since the beginning of my employment, expectations were unclear at best and unrealistic at worse. My day is filled with tasks that demand knowledge from graphic design to programming. They don't have any process of revision, and just say they expect near-perfect work. I am very stressed and I sleep badly since then. I am not perfect in any way, but I work really hard and I feel that they will be worst off without me. But I have to admit that my attitude is not as happy and sunny as I usually am. Mostly because I am criticized all the damn time.

I never had any formal meeting or one-on-one before that moment.
