PREGNANT WOMAN GOT DEMOTED AT WORK BECAUSE BOSS FOUND OUT SHE GOT 2ND JOB

Boss demoted me because he found out I have a second job.

I’m 9 months pregnant and my boss demoted me from manager after 6 years because he found out about the second job I’ve had for 2 years.

I didn’t feel the need to disclose it because my schedule was entirely unaffected by it (even for covering shifts).

He says to other employees (not me) that his “buddy” saw me working at my other job and called him up to tell him about it.

The whole situation is off-putting and very poorly timed. He tells me I didn’t tell him about it because I “knew it was wrong” to have the second job.

The second job I even told him point blank when confronted about it that I needed the extra money due to family emergencies when I got it.

1. It isn’t poorly timed. It’s timed exactly to save the boss money.
2. 9 months pregnant and NOW he decides to dismiss you for having a part time job? TIME TO SUE.
3. Call a lawyer! He did not demote you for the 2nd job, he is worried about your maternity leave.
4. Tell your boss, and confirm in writing, that he demoted you, he says, because of a second job that doesn’t interfere with your hours, etc and is not a competitor. Also remind him that you are pregnant and he knows that you are pregnant, and you believe he demoted you because of your pregnancy. Tell him that you intend to file a complaint based on pregnancy discrimination, and if any further actions are taken against you, you will assume it’s retaliation for filing a complaint.
5. Do you not think it’s.. fishy that a 9 month pregnant woman gets suddenly demoted?
6. Sounds like you were discriminated against because you are pregnant… Contact a lawyer.
