Deciding to start a family is one of the most significant life choices a person can make. It involves carefully considering mental, physical, and financial aspects before even considering having a baby. In the grand scheme of things, the baby’s due date should be one of the lesser concerns during this journey.
It’s perplexing why anyone’s boss would deem it appropriate to comment on an employee’s due date or pregnancy. Such comments are intrusive and unprofessional. Pregnancy is a personal matter, and employees should never feel compelled to discuss it with their superiors unless they choose to do so. A supportive and respectful workplace respects employees’ privacy and ensures they are comfortable discussing personal matters on their terms.
