I got my period today and my boss asked me in a meeting with everyone around when I will be overcoming this situation. I was surprised and responded, wondering why he was questioning such a personal matter. But honestly, I still have a question in my mind like 'Am I overreacting?'
What do you mean by that? Nonsense.
Did anyone else react during the meeting? Did everyone just stay quiet?
@kahvebitmeden everyone fell silent, no one said anything. the boss turned directly to me and asked.
@biseydiycem I think you shouldn't just dismiss it as nonsense right away. If they believe their performance at work is affected, there are people who see such questions as absurd but normal 🙄
this is just a direct violation of privacy. Questioning a personal health condition, especially one that is so private, in a public setting is not professional at all. It might be good to share this in writing with HR.
I've experienced something similar; they approach you in a mocking way just because you're a woman. Next time, I'll say try to set some boundaries kindly, but there's trouble everywhere.
@yazipsildim is this what you call normal? come on, menstruation is a special situation, who is discussing performance? workplaces don't want robots, they're hiring people to work.
