My company held a fancy celebration this week and everyone ended up having to pay separately…

More and more am I realizing how incredibly stingy this F500 company I work for is. For a retirement celebration, around 20 people in my department went out to a fancy restaurant for lunch. Most of the items on the menu were no less than $15 for appetizers and between $20-30 for entrees.

It was my 5th year teaching at this school in an impoverished area. I was pregnant with my first child, who was due at the beginning of the next school year. I approached my principle in March (a woman in her 40s with children of her own) and requested a 3rd or 4th period prep for the following year so that I could pump breast milk after I returned from maternity leave. That would be mid morning and I could pump again at the end of the school day so I'd have enough to give my daycare provider (an old college who quit after undergoing horrible treatment by the same administrator). This was a perfectly reasonable…
