Quote by: sergeant I was talking about how the Gov would view taxable income not you...
You want to fire a women for becoming pregnant.....that is ridiculous...I real jerk thing to suggest...if the damn military can handle a pregnant women with respect... freaking Wal-Mart can. I served in the military pregnant and still brought a benefit to the company I was attached to...even more so than the some of my lazy male counterparts....I also graduated with honors from college...and you would say it is proper to fire me because I take some freaking time off after having a baby.....well lets fire someone who has a death in the family or an illness as well...the thing is...unlike you.... reasonable people can see past the short-term time off and look at what the employee brings to the company through their entire time with the company....that is where you are going wrong my friend. |
Pregnancy is a choice, a death in the family is not. The company should not be FORCED to suffer because of your choices. If a woman wants to have a baby, fine. But she should expect to be replaced if she doesn't return to work in a reasonable time fashion (2 or 3 weeks at the most). Employees can be replaced and if they are slack enough they usually are. I have no problem if a company wants to have maternity leave program on it's own. The problem I have is the government FORCING companies to give women a certain amount of time off for a decision THEY made.
