    @ Selling dreams
    Yeah, I would have sued them but I didn't have proof that they fired me because of my pregnancy. I was on time, every day generally about fifteen minutes early. I always did my work, I worked in home an Kids which is the entirity of the back of the store... it's huge... and it was always neat, and clean. My put backs were always put back, but when I asked for a little help is when they started "questioning me" like seriously? When I was done at the end of the day I always had to stay AFTER my shift to help with womens... their shit wasn't even that bad.

    @ One of a Kind;
    It's horrible. The guy they fired today is one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet and a damn good croupier.
    None of us even have proper contracts yet so they can pretty much so as they want.
    The stress is making me ill, I've started smoking again and pulling my hair out but if I take time out I'm fired because of being on probation.
    What they did to you is sick, especially at such a vunerable time.

    Companies do this.
    They over hire, then weed out the people who don't suit the job the most. Khols did this, gave me my first job. (I was pregnant at the time) didn't tell them, they figured it out on their own when my belly popped out, and they came up with some bullshit excuse to fire me, because I was pregnant. I'd been working their barely two months, and I obviously needed the money.

    So, yeah discrimination in the work place is so an issue it makes me sick.
