Share Your Story: Back to Work Journey

From freelancemommy

The reason I went back to work was ...

A job unexpectedly became available.

For me, the transition back to work was ...

Extremely difficult.Within the first hour of my first day, my boss came to my desk and said "Are you sure you can handle this, with all your family responsibilities?"

I didn't threaten to sue him, but I should have.

Lessons Learned

  • It can be a more hostile environment than you think. As a mom, you tend to try to keep everyone in the family happy. Don't do that at work - protect yourself.
