Maybe I should have told work I am pregnant

Lambie. · June 2011

As some of you know I am a contractor. My actual "boss" is about 1,000 miles away. I haven't been trying to keep it a secret but I keep forgetting to tell them until it is some sort of inopportune time like while I am driving home, the middle of dinner or as I am falling alseep for the night.

So anyway, my really awesome "here boss" told them for me. They are really pissed I hadn't told them. Oops and WTF? How much notice do I have to give?

I agree, WTF and technically I don't think you HAVE to tell them.

That is true. I could just take FMLA and not tell them what for since I don't suppose I have to. And I don't suspect you have to give notice to take FMLA.

With everything you've told us about your job, I'm sure this is going to become an issue, and it shouldn't be. I'm sorry your bosses all suck so hard.

Me too. I have a feeling I am going to end up getting fired, which may be a blessing in disguise.

That's awful on what grounds would they have to fire you?

I have no friggin idea. Without rehashing all of my work shiit I will just say that I don't suspect that it matters though. Luckily, I have a binder full of documentation.

Yes Yes That's the big mistake I made at my other job. They treated me like *** and I didn't keep any record of any of it so it was my word against theirs. That's a horrible place to be in.

I would research this. DH put in a week of FMLA for the birth of our daughter. Work declined it saying they needed a 30 notice. He was able to take the time off anyway since his mother was dying and FMLA covers that.
