Last year my friend was pregnant and got laid off right before her maternity leave and i feel like im traumatized from watching her go through that. I love my job and I love my company and I’m scared that if I go on maternity leave and somebody else gets used to doing my tasks while i’m gone what if they get rid of me. Even though I do feel like it would be a lot for someone to handle but they could also hire someone new?? I don’t know my anxiety comes from knowing the corporate world is so cut throat and to trust no one, no matter how nice my boss is. Any advice to ease my worries? and when is a good time to tell everyone at work?
