I inform my manager of my pregnancy by mail. No answer. 3 days later, I receive a mail of congratulations, followed by an invite to a meeting to talk about my performance and to do an evaluation. In the same mail. How to prepare ? Advice please.
This used to be my favorite job and I was so happy with what I was doing, and I was good at it. Lately the management changed and I feel like my new manager just cares about work and not people. I know other teammates are feeling it too but they don’t communicate that ( maybe that’s professionalism idk).

I went back to a previous employer that had said a while ago “If you need a weekend thing or something park time I got you!”. I went there to get a weekend thing to accompany my freelance video editing, digital media, and streaming that I am primarily working on currently. I was met with “You can work 7 days a week, open availability right?”. It's funny how businesses 2 years ago were like “Nope can't give you 40 hrs a week.” and now that…
