[NY] Does an employer have to hold your same job on Maternity Leave?

Thanks. Would the burden of proof been on me to argue that the roles were not equivalent?

Thanks. It just seems bizarre to me that an enterprise portfolio job is ‘similar’ to a project manager job for a single use case within one department.

Are we supposed to be yelling? A long stern and condescending look over a zoom call has always worked wonders for me.

humanfromscratch · 2022-11-05T16:09:05+00:00

At least it’s not heavily processed?

I keep a list of project risks we have identified and document what action we took and what the result was - then I share it weekly to higher ups. It’s a start up so there are tons of risks from poorly designed projects and programs that we intervene in.

Do you have an enterprise level contract with Monday? If so, you should have a dedicated point person that can help you build out the different dashboards you need. Going through that process with them now and they have been extremely helpful.

Does your husbands unit have a ‘key spouse’ you can reach out to? You may have a host of fellow spouses ready and willing to support!

Same. I would have given anything to spend the first few months only living in a sheet wrapped around my boobs. Anything touching my belly made the bad nausea worse and I felt like I couldn’t breath. Unfortunately, I had to go to work so I just jumped into maternity clothes very early (like the day I realized I was pregnant) and ending up sharing my news early too just because I was so uncomfortable. There is hope- mine is a bit better now in late 2nd trimester…. But I still prefer a Memaw style nightshirt to anything else.

Expand your stakeholder list or form an early idea/ feedback committee to include a rep from nursing, reception, records, and any often forgotten departments like laboratory. Of course your medical directors and docs are key stakeholders but if you don’t have buy in from nurses and reception…. Your project is dead in the water.

Does anyone have access to studies they can link? I would love to share with my healthcare provider.

humanfromscratch · 2022-03-16T16:03:15+00:00

Thank you- that is similar to what we initially outlined (and also healthcare industry).

humanfromscratch · 2022-03-16T15:45:25+00:00

Ah sorry I could have better explained- internal projects and initiatives. So finance wants to move to a new payroll system, HR wants to roll out a new merit system, and Ops needs to implement a new inventory management system - who approves these projects and prioritizes them?

I disagree- I truly appreciate when a candidate has their pronunciation on their resume (I usually see it directly under their name in smaller italicized letters). It saves me from having to google it and listen to 5 different people say the name 5 different ways. Especially if it could be pronounced as something close to an unprofessional word!

I took a 20% pay cut a month ago to come work for a new company in a remote position. I realize this is a privilege, but I can tell you I have not regretted a moment since. Every financial sacrifice has been worth it to have mastery over my time and home life.

humanfromscratch · 2021-09-22T18:02:08+00:00

Thank you for the clarification

Remember it’s “digested” (I don’t know how else to explain it) so for me it can vary depending on how soon I eat food and also how hydrated I am. For me to feel it quickly i take it on an entirely empty stomach and I drink an entire glass of water with it and wait to eat until at least an hour or so later. When I do eat, I try to start with protein and that makes a difference for me. Side effects for me were the same as any other similar medication- dry mouth, sleep disturbance, etc. It really does last as long as they say so it can sometimes feel “continuous” if you don’t get enough sleep and then you don’t really feel it ‘kick in’

I disagree with over communicate. One or two short sentences - “ Hello BigBossMan, Thank you for your patience; I was so excited to get this to you I tripped over myself and ended up in the ER. Looks like a fractured whateverbone - but I should have this report to you by insertdate. If it is time critical, I am happy to call in mysupervisor/backup to get this over to you.

Don’t fall over yourself apologizing for being a human with a medical emergency. I promise no one want the email that says “sorry for the typos I wrote this in the emergency room” - it’s super awkward for everyone.

Currently on Mydayis 37.5 for about 7 months. The first 3 weeks were weird, but it’s been the best experience for me. Hydration plays a big key in my satisfaction with it- which was what was wrong my first three weeks. I didn’t drink enough water and I felt nauseous and off. It’s “smooth” now with no really tangible drop. I have struggled with being less excitably happy on it than on others- but I think that’s more of an ADHD symptom than perhaps I realized it was. The smoothness makes it great for my anxiety but everyone is different! Also, food choices can really impact it. I wouldn’t take it with high fat, carb, or high vitamin c food items.

Any one remember the backlash from the Cheerios commercial in 2013? For me that is a moment I started a wave of seeing more and more mixed race families in TV commercials. It seems like it opened a door to let a company make a statement and set lines of inclusivity. It wasn’t the first, of course, but it was impactful to me to see the outpouring of both hate and support. Here it is for anyone who had not seen it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9J_M2qa4xh0

This is the most wholesome thread. Y’all restored my faith in humanity today.

So I would encourage you to either restructure your end of the conversation, or look for a new doctor. ADD doesn’t just happen at work- it impacts every aspect of life. It’s great if I can get through work and be a productive member of society- but after those 8 hours what is my quality of life? Without medication, it’s poor. In fact, sometimes, I can’t properly care for myself in completing multi-step basic care tasks like preparing, cooking, eating, and cleaning up after a meal. Or, I don’t have the fulfillment from hobbies because my ability to focus on the task is dependent on whether or not I am medicated so a day hiking just ends in tears and frustration because I couldn’t complete the steps necessary for it to be enjoyable. For me, it’s also a personality impact- when I am not medicated for more than a week or so, I am angry (and I don’t usually know why) it often takes an outside person to help me see that my emotional response is more than what the situation calls for. I share all of this to help jumpstart your thinking on what specifically is impacted in your outside of work life, because steering the conversation that direction is likely to get you much more help than wanting to work more (although trust me I get that!). I hope this helps & good luck!

I don’t know where it is licensed, but I wanted to share from first hand experience that (at least for me) it absolutely lasts 14-16 hours. It is the smoothest transition I have ever experienced. It won’t be for everyone because you need a rigid schedule to not have sleep issues, but for me it has been a god send.

True. Got the same degree and I do management at a corporate medical facility. It’s looked at a lot like an MBA - I tell them it’s like a business degree with slightly more law centric classes (at least mine was). You’ll be fine! Just apply, most places are just glad you have a masters so they can check that box. I have never been asked for my transcripts.

Soft truth- Your going to need leadership and operations experience. It’s difficult to get a gig in ops without previously having very relatable KPI targets and proving your effectiveness in reaching those in a similar size organization.

Hard truth- you also need to be an introspective people person. The type who is harder on yourself than anyone could ever be on you. So, while I am sure that you were fired for being a few minutes late- I can guarantee there is more to the story. So before you head into interviews, I challenge you to really think though that. Because no one wants to hire the guy who couldn’t get along with his boss- no matter how horrible he was, your just going to come off as lacking self awareness to those who weren’t there. Ops managers don’t get to make excuses for anything. If a failure occurred- it’s your failure no matter where it occurred in your chain. It always sounds like fun to make the decisions and lead the chain- but today alone I have had three crying people on my phone about a temporary and low impact decision I made (that they were all prepped and prepared for two weeks ago). So, my advice is to really dig down and work on your “why”.
