Work Problems
Posted: 06-18-07 19:53pm

alittle over a week ago my boss called me into their office for a meeting. The VP's decided to change my job/hours/ compensation. Split my shift between 2 people (6 hrs each). The only problem is that I am going to loose money in hours/ overtime and since i will be working less than 32 hours a week I will loose my benefits. If I stay then I don't have to worry about getting fired and will qualify for FMLA leave, but if I got a new job then i would probably not qualify for maternity leave.

some people at my office know that i am pregnant while others do not. I am not sure if they are changing things because of my pregnancy or if they really want to have a receptionist on hand 12 hours a day instead of 10 hours a day.

The worst is they have not posted the job yet. But, i was informed to either take my last 2 days of Paid time off or i would recieve payment for them in a check. I'm just a little frustrated.

How far are you? If you have a ways to go in your pregnancy, I would be very upset about losing the benefits. Do you have other options. I would be a little frustrated as well.

i'm only 8 weeks. I have insurance thru my DH company and have had since we were married, but you can never have too much insurnace. it is becoming more of a principle thing to me. I am not going to leave and give up FMLA, but they can't fire me because I am way too good at my job. Smile (my only saving grace at the moment)

I am looking forward to the cut in the hours. Getting out at 1pm makes scheduling appointments much easier.

Great about the health insurance through your DH company. I hope it's good. You are right, you can never have too much. At the same time, less hours would be so nice. The farther you are, the better it will be to work less. Getting out at 1:00 pm sounds perfect!!
