Hi, I see here many people switch jobs often. May I ask if you feel overwhelmed in the 1st few days at work as I feel so overwhelmed and nervous that I couldn’t catch up with my colleagues. Some of them are also new but I feel they are much proactive and productive than me with my skills that I am lack of. I am currently pregnant and just only have 4 months to work in the new company before taking maternity leave so I am quite stressed right now. I’m also currently pregnant, and I’ll only be working at this new company for about four months before going on maternity leave. That adds another layer of stress because I worry I won’t have enough time to prove myself before I’m away.
At my previous company, some women were dismissed during or shortly after their maternity leave, and they didn’t even get the opportunity to return to work. That experience has made me quite anxious about starting over in a new workplace.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you cope with the pressure and self-doubt? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any advice.

Anyone works at Sanofi Belgium? I would like to ask what is their working language? I heard that mostly everything is in French…

Hi, I would like to ask if you take the sollicitatieverlof” / congé de sollicitation
when you give the notice period to your company. I heard that in Belgium, there is a law that during your notice periods, even in case you resign, you can still take this take one day or two half days per week for the job searching. And the job searching definition is very broad. I already have the offer from a new company but I understand that it is not just only having a job but also other processes related to the new job. To day I asked Hr and he said it is very strange and unreasonable request as I already have a new offer. But he confirmed I can still take it but I need to ask my manager. I am pregnant and recently the workload is very heavy for me. Sometimes I need to work overtime. I dont want to be sick during my pregnancy so I am also thinking of going to my doctor for consultations. I was trying to do a smooth transition but more and more works come to me - I only have 1.5 weeks left but it is a nightmare for me now
