I am now a lady of leisure
I got laid off yesterday. Totally sucks, especially since no ones going to hire a woman that's 5 months pregnant. So now I'm trying to look on the bright side, which today is that I can watch a Gilmore Girls marathon and work on my cross stitching project I have been putting off for 2 years. Any other recs for mindless activities to pursue with all this free time?

I'm sure that was a major factor in their decision.
perhaps you could use this time to learn how to make jewelry, and fill the void that Christen left when she became employed.

That stinks, Coley. Sorry to hear it. Cupcake truck sounds fantastic. Yum.

I was hired for my current job when 5 months pregnant, it can happen!
I think it's stupid short-sighted of an employer to let a pregnancy be a deciding factor. Why yes, I did take off 2-3 of the first 6 months I was there, but 3 years later does that really matter? How about 5 years from now?
I'm not sure, EAB but my H wants me to look into it. I've been with the company for three years and had amazing performance reviews, etc. There was only room for 2 of us and the one woman had been with the company for 15 years; the carrot started the same time I did and has less than stellar performance reviews and work ethic.
Wendy, I do plan on looking for work and hope to find something. I've made some calls this morning as well as got in touch with other contacts I've made in my field, so we'll see how those pan out.

I could take action, but I'm not sure how it would go since I work in the construction industry and work is really slow. My layoff was due to "lack of sufficient work" for my position. I'm trying to look into any legal options but I'm not sure if it would do any good.
