03-9-2009 - Life!!!!!!

My mood while writing this blog: shocked/dissapointed

---

Well I got "discharged" today at around 3:30. It was a little shocking. I really wasn't expecting that. Iam proud of my self..I have not cried! I got called into the conference room and my boss was like wow you are really showing, and we talked about the baby for a few. Then she told me that since sales were down that we needed to downsize our department of 4 people to 3. The lady that was my previous supervisor stepped down b/c she couldn't handle her position which knocked me down below her. They hired a lady to replace her which just so happened to be the president's future daughter in law. So it is the receptionist, who if out, I do her work and my work, me, the pregnant lady, my boss, the new lady, and my previous supervisor, the idiot. I was apparently there only option to let go. With my little salary I don't see why I could not have been let go in February when I have the baby. I guess they thought if they did it now, it would soften the blow...I think not. Who would hire a pregnant lady that is showing and due in February? Only restaurants would hire me, if even they would with the economy the way it is. I am just shocked and disappointed at the way it was handled. I have to go in the morning to try and get unemployment. I was trying to break the cycle and not have to be on gov't assisted living, i.e. food stamps and such, but I am gonna have to revert to that. I had the receptionist who i am really good friends with walk me down to get my parking card and she started crying. For one she was upset that I was pregnant and that I was going to be without a job, and 2 b/c she didn't want to be there with those people without me. I was telling her that it was ok b/c God would not put more on me than I can bear. In the end I am ok with their decision, but I am still in shock at the fact that I went from getting a 20% raise a few months ago to being "dischagred" due to "Reconstruction of Accounting Department". Thanks for letting me vent ladies. Sorry for the rambling...my mind is all over the place.

:( This economy sucks balls and I dont care what anyone says. They ARE laying off pregnant women. Even if it's discrimination....they don't care.
