I just got hired at burger king aweek ago but I didn't tell them I was pregnant. I really needed a job because I have a ten month old already and I'm trying to get my own place. I know I didn't really have to inform them that I am Pregnant.
Thing is all I've heard are bad things about the gm. None of the employers or other managers like him and I heard he's not a nice man.
I'm already showing and you can tell when I have certain shirts on.
My question is should I inform them that I am pregnant or just wait til they ask me? I just don't wanna lose my job.
Good luck mama!
Fact is everyone is gunna find out sooner or later. It doesn't matter how that is. If you are more comfortable with them bringing it up, fine. I told my boss my first day of work. I just wanted to get it over with. Just be prepared to be "the pregnant girl".
Good luck and congrats on the new job. :)
first, remember the GM could just be strict to the rules and make the people do their job, rather than actually being a jerk like people complain about. People dont like managers that make them do their job.
second, this early its not neccessary. I have read that around 20 weeks, or later you want to inform your managers to discuss maternity leave. you dont want to wait to long, but telling them to early doesnt do any good (unless there are physical things they want you to do that you literally cant because it is dangerous for baby....and you).
If they ask, dont lie. But dont stress about the fact youhavent told them.
I would just keep it to myself and do my job well. I agree--I would wait until closer to 20 weeks to tell. Also, I wouldn't worry about the gm. Good luck with the new job!
Quoting amberandmonker:
You won't qualify for fmla maternity leave when you have the baby bc you have to have worked full time for I believe a year to qualify. Legally you don't have to tell them anything and legally they cannot ask you. If they fire you for being pregnant I would sue them. But be careful because they may look for other ways to get rid of you like if you call in or if you're late etc. good luck !
Lol we must not be talking about the same thing then.
