She was missing a lot of work and it was understood that she was TTC. My boss is kind of old school and our office "mom" but still, not cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155907 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:31:57 +0000 Freckles 2155907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we are pretty open with one another. She knows I am done because a coworker made a comment about me possibly being pregnant and I kept saying, "no. God no. No" over and over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155879 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:13:17 +0000 cascademom 2155879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did. It wasn't anything unexpected or unprofessional from him. Once I had LO, he was curious how soon we would be expanding our family. I'm open with him about our lives, so it wasn't a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155878 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:10:29 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2155878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah but in a totally curious way. We are all really chill and all over share anyway. Working in a jail is very different from an office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155867 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:02:00 +0000 jetsa 2155867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asked nope, made asssumptions and I've told them we are done done done yep. So they know we are done but keep kidding me about a potentially third. It's not weird bc my office is that small and casual </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155863 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:59:13 +0000 mrscobee 2155863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it could be weird and initially would make me uncomfortable. But I agree that context is everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155809 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:31:53 +0000 kjpugs 2155809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bosses right when I got married who were encouraging me to have kids. My boss over the last three years though has never asked, but I work from home so we don't often have casual conversations. I think the context is important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155808 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:31:53 +0000 catomd00 2155808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I wouldn't answer if he did and I steer clear of any comments myself that indicate my future family plans. I'm probably over the top weird and guarded about it though. Like I freaked out that I mentioned having a child in a job interview where I was already told unless I royally screwed the interview up I had the job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155801 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:28:41 +0000 Keybee 2155801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I fell that at my place of work the supervisor-supervisee relationships are pretty casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155651 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:12:02 +0000 bunnylove08 2155651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boss did, but it was just asking after I had DD. I didnt think anything of it because I have a great relationship with my boss and she was asking out of parenting curiosity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155648 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:10:29 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2155648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes the c level executive who hired me asked recently but he was leaving in a week so it was clear he was a personal exchange that had nothing to do with work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155497 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 08:43:22 +0000 snowjewelz 2155497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I feel like it's general assumption that you'll have more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155396 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:31:30 +0000 looch 2155396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, yep, but I have known him for almost 20 years, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155167 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 22:06:35 +0000 autumnlove 2155167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, a few times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155165 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 22:05:21 +0000 Applesandbananas 2155165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my VP asks all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155126 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:35:03 +0000 MamaG 2155126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of, my boss and I have a great relationship and he's a family man. He was really encouraging about our family choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155123 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:33:27 +0000 creativemomma15 2155123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it was my cousin and I work for a family business with tons of flexibility and they stress that family is first... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-boss-or-higher-up-manager-ever-asked-you#post-2155109 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:13:58 +0000 mediagirl 2155109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.... if you're going to have more kids? </p> <p>I got asked that by the owner of our company last week during a casual conversation over dinner. While I feel he asked in a way that had nothing to do with work and more to do with general curiosity, it was still weird! </p>
