Need advice
So my company is doing some more lay-offs. The trouble is that I am not eligible for EI as I just got off maternity leave a month ago and will not have enough hours for another 4 or 5 months. So do I tell my boss I'm pregnant (I'm only 5 weeks) - with the hope that the company will take that into consideration (coupled with the fact I can't collect EI) or do I wait? What's your advice?
Re: Need advice
This may sound harsh but I don't think it's the responsibility of your employer to give 2 hoots that you are pregant and can't qualify for EI. I would be peeeeeved if a co-worker did that and felt like they were somehow more valuable or should be "spared" b/c they chose to have a child. Yep, just my 2 cents.
Eek, that's very stressful!
Personally, I wouldn't tell them. If anything, I would think it would make you more expendable if they know you're leaving in a few months, anyway.
I think a lot depends on your relationship with your boss; you know your company best. Do you think that they would take pity on your situation, or are they more cutthroat and will send you packing?
