Taped by the lack of a childcare solution for her 13-month-old baby and put under pressure by her boss who demanded her presence at work, Nadia * saw sleep desert her bed. The 34-year-old Lausanne secretary has encountered several obstacles in recent days. The father of my son, explains the young mother, as well as the grandparents are part of the population at risk in relation to the coronavirus. The daycare accepts only children whose parents are mobilized in the fight against the pandemic. My boss doesn’t want to hear about the home office and gave me an ultimatum on Thursday morning.
Threatening and dry boss
Contact by 20 minutes, the boss of the cleaning company was not very friendly. Not everyone can work. The Federal Council does not say that everyone should do it. You have to be careful what you write. I’m with family. Don’t bother me on a Sunday. We will stay there …
Afraid of losing her job as secretary in a cleaning company, Nadia called her son’s father for help on Wednesday evening. Although sick, he agreed to come and sleep at my house to babysit our son because I had to be at work by 7.45 am, Nadia noted.
The Lausanne woman admits that she was on edge when she arrived at the office. I always believed that the captain was the last to leave the ship. The Serbian boss was obviously with his family, very warm. From his house, he phoned to give me instructions. I reminded him that I could do all these tasks at home and stay that way with my son, protested Nadia.
But, over the minutes, the stress of the young woman will only increase. at home, my son’s father coughed and was feverish. He wanted to go and take the coronavirus test. I had to call my dad to come and look after my son. I was wrong. I felt guilty for coming to work to write two letters and complete an Excel file, explains the young mother.
For Nadia, the drop of too much will take place just after when the wife of her boss called her. She gave me extra work and meant that I didn’t get paid to stay at home. There, I cracked and started to cry, recalls Nadia. According to her doctor, she was no longer able to work. He told me that I was on burnout and that I had to stop immediately. I notify my boss before closing the office and going home.
