Q: Never ending Work Debacle

Need some advice! This is my first job in America. I was originally planning to work up to a few weeks before my due date & then leave as I don't get any FMLA, or paid time off (plus I really dislike my job) Now my manager is emailing me asking me to draft a letter to HR requesting how much unpaid time off I want to take for the birth. WHAT DO I DO?! I need to job to save money so I can take a year off to spend with the baby. I don't want to request their pathetic 3 weeks leave and then pretend to return. It stresses me out so much thinking about all of this every day and the pressure they keep putting on me to decide.

At least im not wasting my time making multiple accounts on here, pretending to be more than one person and attacking people when they say something I don't want to hear! And yes you do have multiple accounts. A little google search for amylousiematacznski sure gives a lot of information! AKA littlebones! And this, right here is why you can't take the voting part of your answers to questions seriously on here ladies!

Don't you have some strenuous lifting to do rather than keep commenting irrelevant nonsense on here?

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!

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!

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.

Lifting heavy objects & walking for an hour across town is not part of my job description nor is it part of my job. And besides, this has nothing to do with my original question, so unless you have a constructive answer pertaining to my original question, I'm not interested in hearing how you have done things in your job as its completely different to mine. Thanks!

Well you failed to mention that or what your doctor has to say about it. But you can't be mad at your employer for expecting you to do your job!
