Today was my first day back to work after 2 1/2 months of maternity leave. I was very excited for work until my manager told me that I didn’t have a place to pump. I asked where I should pump on my break. He then said to me “Go to the Barnes and Nobles across the street, they have a place.” I immediately told him “No, work has to accommodate a place for me to pump.” He then proceeded to say “You could use the women’s restroom at work, I’m sure there was an outlet for me to use.” I stood my ground and told him, yet again, “No. Pumping in the bathroom is unsanitary and not an accommodation.” He just shrugged his shoulder at me and said “Well I don’t know what to tell you.” I got so upset I just told him “Well, I don’t know what to tell you, but I hope you figure it out by my break.”

Long story short: I got to go in the old box office room (no one could see in, we have blacked out windows) where I was alone and very happy!
