So sad
I'm so depressed right now. I talked to my boss today about taking leave of absence in March for the birth of my son. During this time, I also have to get things with my lupus anticoagulant taken care of! No to mention I'll be adjusting to two different kinds of blood thinners in a 6 week period. So anyway, I ask them what is going to happen since April is when I'm due, and they give the yearly reviews for raises/and or call backs for layoffs/ benifits. Okay so I speak to them about that and I'm told basicly If i take time off to have the baby before April 7th I wont get a raise/review/benifits or anything. Baby is being taken on April 7th. So I'm screwed there. Then I asked about my job while I'm gone. I know there are laws to protect me, but get this. I've been with the company for 3 years. I took a layoff in October because thats when I found out about the LA and being ill. So I took the layoff for 3 weeks. Well that reset my hire date, I'm not able to claim under the Family Medical Leave act. So I have to quit my job to take time off to have the baby, and come back as a new hire
I make 7.50+$ an hour and would be next in line for benifits come April. I would have to come back at minium wage which SHOULD be 6.25 by then, but also go last in line for benifits and have to wait another year to even get a raise, and that first raise is for 15 cents or less... yay for getting screwed. I didn't even get enough back in taxes to get a crappy car that I can fit all my kids in. I cant stop bawling, I hate this shit I really do.
