Op are you married?

OEmiohe:
I got a job as a school administrator within my area two months ago without knowing I was already pregnant. I enjoy my job and every day I am researching on how I can improve the school but suddenly I observed I was about 2 months pregnant and I told the director due to the fact that I work directly with her as her PA and School administrator .

one major reason I told her was because I felt she was a pastor and she might not be angry but to my surprise after I told her attitude changed towards me she instructed the principal to issue a probation letter of 3 months to me, and also she told me DAT I would go and rest and DAT I would not be benefitical to
them. the worst part is DAT she had be acting cold towards me and has taken off most of my duties from me. I feel bad and I don't know what to do now.
pls do you advice I do especially now secure it a job is only by God's grace.

No, not at all I was not told anything about that and
they didn't tell me if there was a rule like that or not. she only mentioned that if only I had been working with them long be4 I got pregnant she would have not said anything.

pcguru1:


Exactly to some companies it seems like distrust because am assuming once employed you are entitled to maternity leave which involves leave with payment, as also you just got employed and somehow you won't be capable to perform most of the duties you were employed for. In other words the company loses. let's leave sentiments aside that information should have been made known prior to employment.

The company will not lose o, another person is waiting to assume her position.
On a serious note now, some organisations don't emphatically state out their rules and regulations (especially one man business). Where I work, you have to get your confirmation first, if you haven't gotten it_ you'll still be allowed to proceed on your leave but without full benefits.

She is already 2mths pregnant, she has 7mths to go, of which she would get a whole lot clumsy within the 7mths. Let us not forget she would take antenatal days off. Then the 3mths leave(it could stretch till 4-6mths in some states/organisations) , she would then want to resume 1hr later and close 1hr earlier, she would probably take immunisation days off

Haba, pity the school too...
Who would relieve her within this period?

@OP, the Lord is your strength. I hope those mofos on NL that think it is easy to combine career and child bearing are seeing this.

Oga, She Needs Physical Solution.

Oma307:


women are their own enemies, I keep wondering

Drienzia:
Just resign and go home.
Most persons doesn't encourage working with one who's pregnant. Considering de fact that she will keep taking excuses of going to the hospital for check up during those period of pregnancy. Her taking some duties from you, is a kind of releaf, knowing fully well you pregnant and wouldn't wanno stress you.

But you didn't even tell us if you were impregnated by your husband (married) or your bf . buh if you married, just resign and endure for a year. God will strengthen your husband and you wouldn't lack.

my wife was sacked when she was 8months pregnant so that she'll not be paid when she will be on maternity leave after working for them for 4years.she was working as a sales rep for one pharmaceutical company called sylken pharmacy(makers of Adams desire etc) that has their office located at Apapa.When they noticed she was pregnant,they started maltreating her with disdain couple with query upon query so as to frustrate all her efforts.The last straw that broke the camel's back was when it was time for her to ask for maternity leave,they ordered her to return her official car that it is due to change without knowing that it was a way of dispossessing her of it and when she returned the car and got home only to see a sack mail sent to her.This company is owned by Anambra man from Awka maybe u'll be thinking is one of these Indians or maybe lebanese.That is to show you how cruel and heartless our people can be to another.However,we thank God that She has successfully put to bed and has also gotten a new job .

ok. that is why federal job is beautiful. no one threatens you with sack. the money keeps on coming even when the nation economy is bad because the president have no choice! even buhari that is sturborn still pays us on 25th of every month. the females in my working place gets up to four months of maternity leave when they put to bed. this does not include the normal annual leave and the seven days casual leave every staff is entittled to. adding all together they might spend up to six months at home and keep on receiving salary alert.
anyway, don't be afraid of sacking my dear. when one door of happiness closes another one is opened but most often we look too much at the closed door that we don realize the one that has been opened for us. i wish you and your baby happiness. when i have the opportunity i will communicate with you if am giving a slot in my place of work.
