    I used to sit next to someone like Hannah in an open plan office. She was lovely. Really happy and excited for her future.

      I would be just concerned because she might soon go to maternity leave and it is not clear who would cover for her during her absence

        I guess I’m spoiled because I don’t understand how this becomes an issue?

        If someone leaves for parental leave (or quits) and you’re now more understaffed, some less important things won’t get done. It’s kind of the company’s problem to have the staff it needs. If you suddenly have to do two full jobs for one salary, you’re kinda getting scammed.
