Questions & Answers

My boss didn't ask me to do these duties it was another co worker! You are still just talking about stuff that isn't relevant either provide constructive feedback on the original question or stop posting

Do what your boss is asking you to do. That is what you get paid for. How is that for answering the question! I bet it is in your job description. If anywhere it says "completing other duties/tasks" it is. Which practically is in every job description to cover the employers but. They can't fire you for being pregnant but if they want to get rid of you they can fire you for not completing your job duties. We live in the same state. I know the laws and have been the boss at more than one company. And by you dodging the whole doctors note thing tells me your doctor hasn't given you restrictions and you just don't want to do what they are asking you to. If you are afraid if you are honest with them they will get rid of you right away there must be a reason you feel that way. Good employees don't have to worry about that. Not what you want to hear but most likely the truth. If all of you who thinks this isn't helpful put yourself in the employers shoes.

Her boss is asking her to tell her what she plans on doing. So o said she needs to do what her employer is asking. That is answering the question. This is the reason employers are hesitant to hire women or pregnant women. Sounds like you need to grow up if you can't handle the truth of having and keeping a job!

Ummm...not to be rude but those job duties do seem fine for a pregnant woman unless you have a note from your doctor stating otherwise. I was doing strenuous lifting up until 28 weeks with my first for work. If I wanted to keep working I had no choice. It was a group home with people who were physically not capable of lifting themselves. If I couldn't/wouldnt do it there would be no reason for me to be there when somebody else capable of completing 5he job duties could be. What I'm try to say is it you are telling them you can't complete your job duties than yes they aren't going to want you there. The only thing you can do is provide a doctors note saying you can't lift anything over a certain weight or walk a certain distance and hope they have other things for you to do.

Not really-especially if you have spina bifida and are 24 weeks pregnant

So because it isn't the answer you want to hear it isn't answering the question. Why is she so scared of telling them she doesn't plan on coming back? BecAuse she is worried they will get rid of her before she wants to take off. They can only do that if they have good reason other than her pregnancies. If she is a good employee they won't look for reasons to get rid of her. So if she doesn't want to tell them the truth she probably knows they are better off replacing her as soon as possible!
