To work or not to work
I have been told that I probably need to stay home because I have a very unsupportive work environment. I work where it’s part of my job to lift 50lb+ cases of wine, get on ladders, and stand for 6+ hours.
I confided in one person and she told my entire workplace that I’m pregnant. Since then, people either stopped talking to me, or have switched my tasks from the easy cleaning ones to filling shelves (which is where the heavy lifting happens).
I was also told that If I wanted to stop lifting AT ALL during my pregnancy, they would require a doctors note. I asked a manager at another store how that works and she told me it was illegal for them to force me to lift until a DR note.
The last few times working I’ve just wanted to break down crying and walk out.
