How to tell new employer

MallardDucky · February 2014

So yesterday I was offered a great job with a fast food chain. I applied for this job a while ago. I was interviewed yesterday mid morning, and then called early evening with the offer.

I did not reveal in my interview that I was 15 weeks pregnant, so I am not sure when to bring it up. I go in today for paperwork, walk through, and meeting my staff.

Should I wait a bit? Or just I ahead and tell them. I do not plan to take much time after delivery, as long as it all goes well.

MallardDucky · February 2014

Thanks, I guess I didn't say anything because I wanted to be "judged" for me and not for being pregnant.

mjmaine723 · February 2014

Congrats on the job! I don't blame you for not disclosing during the interview process. It's so hard to get a job right now, you don't want to give them any reason to not hire you. Discriminating against pregnancy is illegal, but it's easy for employers to say you "just weren't right for the job", and leave it at that.

My advice would be to wait a week or so until you get to know people, and then you can gauge on how the best way might be to tell them. If you're unable to hide growing baby, then do it as soon as possible. You might be surprised how receptive they are! I was in a similar position, and my new employers have been really great about the whole thing. Good luck!!

Like I said, I don't think you're wrong for not disclosing, it just makes things a little awkward when you end up telling and then discussing leave. How much time do you plan on taking off?

@snowflake91011 With my last I only took 2 weeks and went right back to CNA work. With this job I can be out a week and be okay (as long as I have a good delivery). I also plan on working right up to the last min.

Did I miss something? Why the name-calling?

I don't get it either. Unless this is from Sept13 and a certain person is upset because this was a surprise pregnancy

Yes. Or so I've heard.

Why don't you ask instead of beating around the bush

JocelynB0911 · February 2014

Really Mallard? You think that your "surprise pregnancy" is all that is wrong with the things you've said?

MallardDucky · February 2014

What all the things I said. I will be more than happy to show those pms between us.

Is she really going to play innocent? :-??

JocelynB0911 · February 2014

I mean seriously. I am just going to say it because its been on everyones mind for a long time.

I think you're a big ass liar. An insensitive, calculated liar. You didnt know your edd so you made a blanket post about when you were due (july/august/sept), introd on the june 14 board saying you were due that month, over on pgal saying you lost a twin, and then finally here on august (which was my bmb before my loss) being a true AW.

The messages you send me were despicable. I would never ever say the shit you said to someone. EVER. I feel sorry for this bmb. Good luck with her.

Do you seriously troll these boards all day looking for more places to post?

imakeeff0rts · February 2014

Yes. For the love of God show the PMs.

That was a super cunty thing to say, btw. One would think that you'd be a little more understanding since you're "pregnant" and have experienced a "loss".

I don't even care if I get banned for this. You're being a bitch, plain and simple.

JocelynB0911 · February 2014

Yes please show the PMs. Get yourself banned faster.

augusta17 · February 2014

PLEASE MAKE MY DAY and show those PMs. It's about to get real in this bitch.

Well hello to you too. Nope-- no trolling. Just showing support for a friend. :x

Mrs.AllyH · February 2014

Guys. Don't type so fast. She needs to log into her other accounts so that she can pretend people support her!

KMD1106 · February 2014

I have a feeling the PMs she shows will be the ones where Jocelyn rightfully defends herself. If you're showing them, show them all Mallard.

You suck at life. That's all.

MallardDucky · February 2014

So jocelyn what all did I say? Because you and I both know what I said to you.

JLMcWeeney · February 2014

Shits getting real with S13 shows up! You know what you did was hurtful. It wasn't handled tactfully at all.

Mrs.AllyH · February 2014

At best, you were an insensitive buttmucher. At worst (which would be in line with your AW personality) you rubbed your pregnancy right before you were going to get your tube tied, in the face of a woman who just experienced a devastating loss. Either make you a twatwaffle.

So not knowing makes me a that I was pmd by others and changed the original title

JocelynB0911 · February 2014

Mallard, you're never going to own up to anything you said. That part is crystal clear to me but I guess I'll just take my martyr self back to a board that I dont belong on. Does that ring a bell or are you going to deny that too?

OR it was something EVEN WORSE. Waiting sucks, yo!

I sure hope not because jocelyn does not deserve even ducky's best.

This is where the non-mod'ed social groups would help.

So much this. Don't tease!

Unrelated: OMG, hey Aug14!!! So nice to see some of you again! Squee!

CMSullivan326 · February 2014

Please post the PMs.....I can't wait to rip you a new one, MD.

MallardDucky · February 2014

Nope sure doesn't. Because I have a whole 1 pm from you and 2 that I sent you both have apologies in them

augusta17 · February 2014

@MallardDucky quit being a huge saggy vagina and admit what you said! What the hell are you scared of? You're on the internet don't worry we can't get you.

I rescind my previous comments. A whore's dirty twat has a better personality than you do.
