My Mat Leave Mistakes Momma Meli the Manager

I'm very aware I've been lucky enough to work for tech companies in Corporate America during my two pregnancies. I'm grateful for having the ability to take time off while getting paid. That said, I had NO idea how to go about it and made a handful of (work) mistakes during my first pregnancy leading to many tears, missed opportunities, and more. As always, this is my personal experience & point of view, being shared not to blame anyone but instead to empower others!
