Employment

My employer gave me stupid excuses for not confirming me just because I'm pregnant. Yesterday my boss just suddenly called for a meeting tgt w hr. Mentioned want to talk about my performance. But all the points she mentioned are so unfair and unreasonable . Saying I nv do the things tat actually I have done so much. Then called me to look for a hair stylist to do something w my white and baby hair (my work place is not a place tat I need to dress up). Then pick on me for very small correctable things. And oso put words in my colleague's mouth saying she is not comfortable working w me around (when I'm so close to her supporting each other at work). I guess this is all about what they said and I said matters. After I shared w hubby he said the whole picture was very simple... They just don't want to cover my maternity benefits. I guess even if I go report to mom,... There's nothing they can do. Am I right? I'm ok not to work but I just find it unfair treatment in such a big name company. Any advice? 😢

I faced the exact same problem! I was a perm, worked in the company for a year, it was my first pregnancy and I was about 4-5months pregnant then (this happened in May this year!) During the yearly review usually its just a 1-1 talk between myself and my boss but to my surprise the HR rep joined the discussion as well. I was soo confused but she explained that my boss wasnt happy with my performance, Im not meeting expectations and all those bulls when i’ve been giving my 100% since day 1. All those nonsense they just spitting, all 1 sided and to make me resign on my own (oh and i ended up with 0 bonus! Just because of all those stupid reasons) .. they obv don’t want to pay for my ML since they cant fire a preggy otherwise i’d just report them but I was ready if the situation went that way, ended up going through a Performance Improvement Plan every week (waste of time) just so I can prove my worth. It was tough and mentally-emotionally draining but quitting was not an option. Still in same company and on ML now, will probably look for a diff job soon lol now that im not pregnant.. not staying in a shitty company w this kind of treatment.. Assuming your probation period is ending and thats the reason they still hadn’t confirm your employment then report it! Its definitely unfair!
