  • It has been super quiet today, especially after quite the rambunctious Monday.

    I went and bought a blood pressure monitor today and of course took my stats while sitting in the parking lot after I left the store. 128/79, so on the high end of normal, but lower than the 130 something over 80 something at my doc's office last week. What is the deal with the dr.'s office that freaks me out so much?? 

    Mine is typically higher at the doctors office too.  If it's high at the beginning they usually take it at the end and it's lower.  It's probably attributed to rushing in, any kind of nerves about the appointment, whatever.

  • Alright, ladies. I'm seriously struggling with my job and need some advice. So, my boss never ordered my maternity shirts. And I can't tuck my shirt in anymore because I have to wear my leggings to work now. This has been all well and good for the last 8 weeks or so. Today, my boss told me I can't have free meals at work anymore unless I tuck my shirt in. But payday is a week away so I can't get new pants right now and my maternity shirts won't get in before I leave this job in November. I feel like she's been trying to get me fired lately, writing me up for complete nonsense. My supervisor is on a 3 week vacation, so reporting her isn't really an option. What should I do? Do I just take my food to work and continue to not tuck my shirt in? So I just suck it up and attempt to button my pants that haven't fit for weeks?
  • Is that a legit policy?? Having the option not to tuck in if you don't want food? Is your boss always there when you are to enforce this weird policy? Is there a corporate number for an HR department that you can call to ask about this? Do they by chance just have larger shirts on hand that you could wear? Would bringing your own food in be a big deal (I mean, not that I would be quick to pass on free food but still)?  

    Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to get a feel of the situation.

    What kind of job is it?  Can you wear a maternity tank underneath and tuck that in?  Sounds like it's a little bit of discrimination to me, which is not legal.  Is there an HR department you can go to?

  • @2goofykids Is she actually allowed to withhold lunches from you if it is something the company provides? I would ask someone in HR if it is an issue for you. Especially if it is being used as a "punishment" for not tucking your shirt in. When I worked at our local grocery store, we weren't allowed to make employees tuck in their shirt once they told us they were pregnant. I don't know if that was a company thing or if it was somehow related to a law though.


    I hope that things get better for you! At least you won't have to deal with it for too much longer.
  • @soxfan9968 now theres an idea..... Hmmm... Tomorrow may feature my pre-pregnancy work pants held together with a hair tie. Then everyone would have an issue!
  • So I can't call HR. Because my franchise is independently owned. And I can only get the HR number for our owner from my boss. So this is totally sketchy! I'm going in with my old pants tomorrow and a hot pink hair tie holding my pants together. Maybe she'll send me home.

    My SIL got a 3D/4D video from her ultrasound tech...she made us all watch it as a family. Scary.

    Edited for punctuation.

  • @OneRainDrop ugh, I'm cringing at the thought. Maybe they should use those as a deterrent in sex education classes. Lol

  • The 3d/4 ultrasounds not only creep me out, but they kinda take away the fun of seeing your baby's face for the first time, IMO.

  • @charley15 yes! So like, not only do we just HAVE to know the sex but we also HAVE to know what they will look like!

  • I had an aunt offer to buy me a 3-d ultrasound as a gift, and I politely declined. They honestly give me the creeps. I think I can wait until he gets here to see his squishy face!
