Pregnancy teaches you who your partner is, who is family, and who is a friend. A woman will never forget how you treated her during her pregnancy, in her most vulnerable stage because what you do and say to her, you are also hurting her baby and that is never forgotten.
I’m so tired of hearing “you won’t be able to do that anymore when you have a baby”
I can just take him with me??
Going to the beach? He’s coming.
Going out to dinner? He’s coming.
Going on vacation? He’s coming.
Fly to a different country? He’s coming!!
Bro kids are portable
Ima pack his lil bag and go.
My coworker texted me on Teams:
“First deadline is very close. Email me immediately.”
There was no deadline.
There was no email.
That was a code.
“First deadline” means: Boss is approaching.
“Email” means: Stop what you’re doing. You’re being monitored.
“Excel” means: You’re safe.
My coworker mentioned “first deadline” and “email” on Teams.
I didn’t ask questions.
I didn’t text back.
I just closed all the open tabs on Chrome.
Then, right in front of my desk, there was my boss asking about a project report.
I had already submitted it, so he went back to open it from his side.
My coworker stared at me from the far end of the office. Then typed Excel.
When we met in the parking lot at the end of the day, he said quietly:
“Boss suspected you were not working and headed straight to your desk.”
He drove home without adding another word.
Neither did I.
Saving a coworker from a bad situation is better than being loyal to a boss.
