As a woman you are protected under the laws of EEOC. it is unlawful for a employer to ask questions about your marital status, how may children you have or if you are planning on having any children. Do not be fooled into talking about you personal situation just because you feel comfortable or get a good vibe from your interviewer. Please believe me it is a tactic GOOD LUCK LADIES!!! YOu can do it..

Yes I had to thankfully I am not showing yet and I didn't disclose it in the interview process

I did once I got hired the company hr had no issue I still have to disclose when I am ready with my direct coworkers (national company so hr does stuff on the phone and is separate from whom I work with)

I start July 5th

_Iam_Leigh - yeah I know they can't fire for that. They won't say they are firing for that. They always say they are restructuring the departments when they want to let someone go. Which I'm assuming they will do when I leave on maternity leave anyhow. He made a comment awhile back saying he was afraid when he hired me that I would get pregnant. And yes I realize he can't say that either, but we are finding out they aren't exactly a law abiding company. They think they are above the law.

We have all thought about going after them....but they are so shady it will just cost us a ton in lawyer fees and get us no where. That's part of the issue I'm having now. They are being sued and they are finding ways to get out of paying by trying to make us change the personal distributions to business expenses. I also don't want to fight it because it's not worth it. I just need to find a different job and let them crash by themselves.

U dont have to tell them. Its against company policies. They are not suppose to discriminate against that

Savannah call a lawyer love. You definitely have the right to fight for that. I would sue for them to pay your salary for the rest of your pregnancy.

I understand completely. I got a new job 2 weeks ago and one day last week I was bleeding super heavy so I ended up telling them that I was pregnant and the next day they said "we don't feel you're fit for this position we're going to let you go"so I'm pretty sure I was fired for being pregnant

I don't know if anyone said this or not but if it has nothing to do with your position at the company you're in they cannot fire you and if they do you have grounds to sue them yourself. They can't force you to do something that you find unethical and has nothing to do with the actual company you work for. If I were you I'd contact a lawyer now so you can have documentation of the events that occur from this point on. They can't force you to do something for another company they own especially if they are currently being sued for that company. Wish you luck..

I quit my job and took a week off (sick and exhausted) and landed a new one the following week. Good luck to you.

I will be going back to my old job in October. The job I am at now just doesn't have a budget big enough to schedule employees. They want me back at my old job badly but I have to wait a full year before going back all due to point accumulation.

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone. And wishing you all the best of luck! I just got a job offer yesterday. I'm 9 weeks and I've been struggling as to when I should tell them. I'll start in 3 weeks...so thinking shortly after the 2nd trimester since I've miscarried previously.

I had to start a new job when i was about 7wks i believe.. I didn't say anything until after i got hired..

I'm starting a new job Monday, and I'll be 10w2d. I didn't mention being pregnant, but I will once I start the second trimester.

I am on week 2 at my new job and just hit 11 weeks. I still haven't told them about the baby and I plan on waiting a bit longer before I do

I do know it's illegal for that, but I'm also not going to withhold I'm pregnant. I want a job I'm going to love. I don't want to not disclose it and have a bad start when they find out.

By law, they can't deny you employment bc you're pregnant and you're not required to let them know you're pregnant.

It's actually illegal for them to not hire you because of it. Good luck!

I'm in the same thing!!! 11 weeks and had to find a new a job due to my job had to let me go cause of the budget... but when your going to a other they can't ask if your pregnant it's the law. If they do you can make a law suit!!! If they ask if you need any time off, it's best to say at this moment no. ??✊? good luck ladies ❤️

Girl I'm in the same boat ! I don't know if it's the hormones or what but I can't stand my job anymore we got a new manager btw I work at a credit union full time so just imagine the stress of that plus how rude and inconsiderate your co workers are. So I'm currently job hunting but when you ladies do an interview you're not obligated to tell them you're pregnant and they can't ask you either. I think it's against most hr policy.

I got a new job like a week after I found out I was pregnant... Sooooo they still don't know haha. I'll be trying to keep it under wraps for a little longer. Good luck to you!!

It's so stressful! My husband can probably support us as well, but it will be tight. I just needed to work to save up for maternity leave. Well and I just need to work for my own sanity lol.

Thank you! I hope it works out for you too! Hopefully you find something soon!

I am in the same boat. I recently just quit my job and have been looking for a new one before I start showing too much. But it's already hard to find a job so I'm worried that if I wait to long then no one will hire me bc I'm pregnant. Plus hubbs is worried about money even though he can support us all on his income but I'd like to be able to help out. I understand completely girl. Hope it works out for you!
