Had that happen to me. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 19/10/2009 04:15:45 PM
The day after the ultrasound where I found out I was having a son, my company laid me off (and others) due to financial problems.

"coming down from ON high" is the proper expression Tom - 19/10/2009 09:46:41 PM 539 Views
Thank you. I did not know that. *NM* The Secret Lurker - 20/10/2009 01:38:46 AM 194 Views

As long as its ok for people to sack women who get pregnant TheCrownless - 19/10/2009 07:59:58 PM 519 Views
Women who get pregnant and are using that as an excuse to not do their jobs? Sure. Sareitha Sedai - 19/10/2009 09:11:56 PM 531 Views
I'm with you... Antigone - 19/10/2009 11:32:08 PM 523 Views
Thats not at all what I'm saying TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:40:28 AM 501 Views
Lots of assumptions. Antigone - 20/10/2009 01:54:02 AM 451 Views
Like I said... assumptions TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:40:23 PM 552 Views
Can you work and give birth at the same time? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:27:45 AM 516 Views

So you're against maternity pay? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:29:07 AM 519 Views
Where I work you have to use your sick leave and annual leave to cover maternity leave. Tashmere - 20/10/2009 01:26:34 AM 468 Views
Same with my job... Antigone - 20/10/2009 01:56:00 AM 453 Views
And nobody gets special treatment. *NM* Tashmere - 22/10/2009 01:16:13 AM 194 Views
Thats just one of the variations of maternity leave I was suggesting. TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:50:11 PM 471 Views
But that's what I was addressing when I talked about his choice. Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:54:30 PM 469 Views
That's why it's an employer and not a social worker... Antigone - 20/10/2009 09:58:00 PM 516 Views
How is this any different from sick leave? Ghavrel - 20/10/2009 10:20:50 PM 516 Views
Because the person is not there, mainly. Antigone - 21/10/2009 12:54:39 AM 462 Views
You pick up the slack because you're a super-wonderful person TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 10:56:04 PM 459 Views
No, I never said anything of the sort Tom - 20/10/2009 03:14:07 PM 483 Views
I was simply saying TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 11:00:09 PM 425 Views
Had that happen to me. TaskmasterJack - 19/10/2009 04:15:45 PM 503 Views

It takes a special person to be a supervisor/manager. Tashmere - 20/10/2009 01:21:42 AM 537 Views
Did he deserve it???? good question. The Secret Lurker - 20/10/2009 01:38:29 AM 556 Views
Seems like the answer is yes Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:37:15 PM 470 Views
Did he try to transfer? Or did he procrastinate or blow off your suggestion? Tashmere - 21/10/2009 03:39:57 AM 457 Views
