Was He In The He-Man Woman-Haters Club?
Our next horrible boss sounds like he spent too much time with the Little Rascals in the He-Man Woman-Haters club because he’s on the verge of committing a violation of employment protections for pregnant women. Every State in the US except for South Dakota, Indiana, North Carolina, and Alabama have state-level protections for pregnant women that extend beyond the federal minimum.
Employers are often afraid of pregnant women messing up their schedules and workflow with their doctor’s appointments and the inevitable time they need off to have their babies, not to mention the physical restrictions that come with late pregnancy, but is that really an excuse for this outburst, or should he have known better?
