If it were me @2goofykids and I'd be ok without the paycheck, I'd quit. It's only a few more weeks and that kind of stress and negativity wouldn't be worth it.

So I called HR yesterday. And this morning when I got in our restaurants owner was waiting to talk to me. So, thats bad already. And so what my boss is doing is apparently perfectly fine because no one had asked me to provide a doctor's note stating that I'm pregnant. Also, I have to have uniform-appropriate pants tomorrow when I come in. And then and only then will they order my new shirts. So, I may not actually come back to work tomorrow. I may quit. This is too much stress, and the only thing I want is to be able to leave my shirt untucked.
I would threaten them for their actions our of spite.. discrimination and a hostile work environment which started after you told them

Yeah even in good 'ol Texas it's illegal to discriminate against pregnant women (when the business has more than 15 people) and it sure sounds to me like you're being unnecessarily discriminated against. Obviously any real legal action would take time and money (and who has either of those) but if you plan to continue to work there until your move I'd throw around words like "discrimination" "ACLU" and "EEOC"
@2goofykids that is beyond such bullsh*t. Do they want to look at your uterus too, you know to make sure you have a baby in there? Ugh
Guys, it is the last day of my first trimester I honestly couldn't be happier and the baby gave me the present of MS this morning to let me know they are still doing okay :-)

@2goofykids I am sorry you are going through that. You boss sounds like a B. If you can survive for a few weeks without a paycheck I would totally quit. The fact that the need a doctors note to order you maternity shirts is just dumb.
@kynbar5 I can't believe someone went back to a comment you made a few weeks ago and reported it. Ridiculous!
I just love all the preachy posts from newbies about how everyone is so rude here and why can't we all just get along. Seriously? No need to comment just move it along to another website Felicia.

Ummmm.....maybe I am wrong, but they can't legally require a doctor's note for anything like this at work anymore....HIPPA rules and all......
I would also ask them where you can find uniform appropriate MATERNITY pants......sounds like your boss is a real B that doesn't understand pregnancy at all.....or HIPPA, or discrimination lawsuits......
@2goofykids Dude, that's some bullsheeeeeeeeeet. May I suggest exiting in epic style by leaving unicorn rainbow poop on her desk. She sounds like a twatwaffle.
@charley15 Happy birthday! Let's all have cake to celebrate!
Why? Why, oh, why would you post a question about your second trimester symptoms on the first trimester boards? Then proceed to correct people that are trying to help you because they're making first trimester references.

Haha..her posts are always entertaining. Def. going to follow that one.
I keep reading that Kim and Kanye are thinking of naming their baby Easton (DS's name) and it just makes me cringe.
That sounds too kitschy EVEN for the people that named their Daughter North West. Really? North and Easton West? I hope they are just f*cking with the media.
@2goofykids I'm sorry your employer sucks you should check with eeoc.gov and see if there is anything you can do. I say quit if you can, the stress isn't worth it.
@2goofykids It's not as legal as filing a formal complaint but I would vent on social media that McD's is refusing to give food benefits provided to other employees simply because she's pregnant and her shirt won't tuck in. Have friends share it and spread the word. Independently owned or not McD's still needs to follow franchise rules and try to keep the reputation of McD's as best they can. I'm assuming people will find it upsetting that McD's is refusing food to a pregnant lady.

What I sent: As the U13 GB coach I am looking to set up fixtures before the March 29th county tournament. Can you please direct me to the right person to get this done?
Thanks (My name)
What in recieved back: Excuse me for asking but who are you ~? and what capacity do you request this ?
I am now afraid I hastily got pissed and responded too harshly: My name is _____ and for the third year I am coaching the regional Greater Birmingham U13 squad (if you have been at one of our matches perhaps you have assumed I was a physio like others).
I am trying to get into contact with the other U13 coaches as previous attempt have gone unanswered. I assumed the U14 coaches that we played against last year may be of better help.
Thoughts?

Ok really dumb question but how do you post youtube videos directly in these posts?
Just directly put the link into the comment field, don't try and insert it as an image. Then hit post reply and it will just show the image instead of the url.

@ACleanLife24 don't blame you for being frustrated. You clearly stated who you were and why you were asking in the first email. I don't think your response is harsh at all. Clearly you need to be blunt because you weren't understood the first time.
Guys I made it through my day and I'm still employed.
I am SO PROUD OF MYSELF. Mostly because I actually stood up for myself today. And it made a difference.
I'm changing my hours so I don't have to be with my boss, which is great! My shirts should be here in a few days, and I also have a follow-up meeting with my store owner next Friday to ensure that conditions have changed. So that's a plus.
And also I get an incentive raise of 25 cents so that's weird and sketchy but still good. More vacation money for me to buy baby things at Disney (:
Thanks for all the love, ladies. This has been such a mess, and it's great to have all this encouragement (: you guys are great!
Parent teacher conferences tonight (how is my "baby" old enough for conferences already?!?). And Bible study. Thinking about skipping out on Bible study thanks to this headache, even though it's a blessed kid-free 90 minutes.
