Ea Going To Be Pregnant And Working In A Boss's Home With Smoke Exposure - Concerned About Health & Retaliation
Hi all, I’ve recently moved to NYC and am working an in-home position as an executive assistant for my employer- think devil wears Prada.
I am in the end of the process of IVF and will be pregnant in the next month or so and have become concerned about my working environment. My boss is a regular smoker and smokes indoors while I am present. She opens a window for ventilation, but the scent of smoke and residue is still noticeable for about 30 minutes after she finishes a cigarette.
My primary concern is the health risk from secondhand/thirdhand smoke to my developing baby.
The challenge is how to raise this issue without risking my job. I have reason to believe she would be extremely resistant to requests to smoke outdoors or to fully stop smoking inside, as she is very private about her habit. I am concerned about potential retaliation if I raise this issue, as I’ve worked for her for a few months and would be raising the alarm now. I don’t plan on telling her I’m pregnant until I’m showing and or ready.
I also signed an NDA related to her work and personal life.
Any advice on navigating this sensitive employment situation would be greatly appreciated.
