I really wanna know (so keep it real)

better yet, let's make it fair

I think you men are saying that it is fair because it won't ever happen to you. so if its ok to not hire or fire a woman for being pregnant then there should be in depth medical examinations for all potential applicants. those with liver or kidney problems, cancer, the flu, or any condition that might require more than a week off eventually should be automatically denied employment

 

Woman sues store for tripping over a toddler and breaking her leg and is awarded money (her kid she tripped over)

Man sues homeowner for breaking into thier home, attempting to leave thru the garage door gets locked in there due to defective lock and lives on Pepsi and dog food for 2 days and is awarded money

Man sues homewner for being bit by dog when he climbs fence and walks up to chained up dog with intensions of beating dog, does beat on dog, dog bites and he is awarded money.

Lots more of those type of cases.

 

but by then, we'll also be homeless and i'll be holding a diaperless, hungry baby

which will also make me unemployable

 

Most those get overturned on appeal though.

 

No offence, but did you not realise this before you were making the baby?

 

That is sad, and I hope it doesnt come to that, but, you did have some sort of plan when you got pregnant, right? You had a known support structure that was willing to help you out in your time of need?

 

*this will be the only time I respond to bird migration...ever*

I do not like you. I do not post in your threads because I do not like you. Any questions you ask me will not be answered because I do not like you.

Finally, I do not like you

 

get off the internet now and go find a job.....NOW! please dont be homeless

 

Don't listen to thes clowns fontella. If the place you work at has any decency they should at least welcome you back in the meantime. Until then welcome to foodstampsville.

 

With this kind of negative attitude you will never get a job.

 

The topic is not concerning a current employer, it is about gettin hired. All my comments were in that context only.

 

OH! Well than welcome to foodstampville babe.

 

I never said it was fair. I said I wouldnt hire you. Its very unfair. But I still wouldnt hire a pregnant woman if a not pregnant alternative was available.

 

I'm a single mother of 4, my entire life is a time of need and I've never had a support structure...even when I was a kid myself

truthfully, I had no idea that being pregnant would be a problem since my field is not physical. the dad is around but how I am supposed to ask him to take care of my whole household? except for my last son, I always had a job before I was pregnant so looking for a job while pregnant is new to me.

I think I can even get a job, but I'm scared that I'm gonna get fired when they find out.

I just think that saying that its fair and I shouldn't have gotten pregnant is equal to saying someone that broke an arm shouldn't have gone skiing, someone that has kidney problems shouldn't have drank so much soda, someone that has foot surgery shouldn't have worn tight shoes. it may be true but it doesn't justify being able to not continue life. Nobody is perfect

 

Dont kill me please but here it goes:


You already had some kids and know its tough as hell out there, you knew you were close to the end of school and going to be looking for a job and already having kids did you not think that maybe having another child would complicate your life just starting out? I mean right now in your field your no better than a high school kid to Mc Donalds, you have school but no hands on, no background, just school so its easy to be just as employable as you with out the soon to be mother issue.


I do not want you to think I like the idea of your problems right now nor do I like the idea that an employer thinks so much of money and not potential of thier employee.

So no matter dewelling on the issue lets look for a solution, what would you need to do to get a teachers certificate? or what other coarse of action can you take to bring a smile back to ya?

 

You know me. I believe in personal responsibility. I'm just getting pissed that I'm the only one that is being held accountable. If my kids fathers were doing their jobs, I'd be fine.

fuck it, it is what it is. I'm wrong for being pregnant and we deserve whatever we get. I'm wrong for being born a woman. I'm wrong for trying to drive truck when I knew that mostly men did it. I'm wrong for ever having sex. I'm wrong for not having an abortion. I'm wrong for thinking being qualified and hard working would be all I needed. I'm wrong for not staying in my place. I'm wrong for asking this poll question when I already knew the answer.

Please accept my apology for all of the above. I have learned my lesson

 

You're the one who opened up a can of worms with this one babe.

If you truly value your future and that of your kids I'd suggest an abortion. At the age of 28 you shouldn't be struggling for a job. You should already be upper management. Keep your priorities straight babe. what's best for you in the long run?

 

I have already apologized. Thank you for your insiteful judgement on my age and life. I'll start looking for clinics that perform 25 week abortions right now.

*This will also be the last time I respond to you. I feel like I have soaked up the extent of your wisdom*

Thanks again

 

You know what I think if you are able to do the job, then there should not be an issue of your pregnancy!
I know of many people who 8 or 9 months pregnant and still went to work every day!

So, don't hold back missfontella, you can get the job done Good luck!

 

I think the world is way overpopulated to be having children if you can't support them. The reason a business might not want to hire a pregnant woman is because they dont want to have frivolous lawsuits against them when they just want to hire a worker, not because they hate kids. Kids are great.
