I have a great job right now and am scheduled for maternity leave starting late April. Unfortunately, I learned this week that my company is trying to dissolve my department. Although my director and department chair are fighting passionately, I fear for my job. If a decision is made before April…I could potentially lose my job and not receive maternity leave. (My husband and I can’t afford to live on one income.)
So is it realistic to have a full-time work from home job with a newborn? And if so, what types of jobs can I apply for that would allow me to do that?
