So at the moment I am almost 7 months pregnant with my third baby. I was desperate to find a new job at almost 6 months along. So when I got my first interview I didn't feel the need to tell them that I was pregnant. They hired me and I have been working there for about a month now. This job was way easier than my last one, both being housekeeping.
So last night I ended up in the hospital thinking something was wrong with the baby because of the pain I was in, I found out that my baby is just large and sitting lower than my last 2 did. There is nothing wrong with the baby at all. I picked up some extra days at work and had to call my shift leader to tell her I would not be able to work the extra days, which was fine because she had someone else who wanted them anyways. I had told both my shift leader and coworkers that I am pregnant and that it doesn't hinder my job at all.
Today I went in to get my check and my boss, the owner, was in the office. First she started with. "I don't know you." Not asking my name, or saying hello, or introducing herself. Just that she didn't know me. Once I told her my name she got angry. Giving me a speech about how she didn't know I was pregnant and how she never would have hired me had she known. She was extremely rude. She got even more mad when she asked why I didn't tell her, or rather the girl interviewing me, that I was pregnant? I was so mad I didn't answer. I was desperate for the job and money that I didn't feel that I had to. But something else was weighing on my mind about the interview. One of the questions was if I had an disabilities and if I did could I still do my job.
I know for a fact that they can't ask me if I have a disability or if I am pregnant at an interview. I told them about my hearing loss because I wasn't thinking about it and it was something that my team would find out about.
I am just super angry with the way she presented herself. She was rude and not very understanding of my point of view. I would love to quit but I still need the money and finding another job this close to my due date would be extremely hard.
If you were treated this way would you quit or keep working for this rude women with a cold heart?
