Today, as I was pulling into work at 15 weeks pregnant, I projectile vomit all over myself and my vehicle. I had an emotional breakdown as I went back home, and called my boss to let him know I would not be in that day. I am now looking for a new job. FML

Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML

Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML

Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML

Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML

Today, my morning sickness got so bad that, while at the grocery store, I had to throw up in my purse. FML

Today, I got rear-ended while on my way to work. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pregnant, suffering from a horrible UTI, and running a fever. My boss called in sick, so now I'm stuck running the office alone. With whiplash. FML

Today, I had to catch a bus to work, as my car had to be taken in yesterday. The bad drivers always upset my stomach with their instant stop/start driving style. I felt a burp coming on, but it turned out to be projectile vomit that filled my mask right up and poured down my shirt and pants. FML

Today, my boss held my hair while I threw up. It's day two on the job. FML

Thank you for your service

Today, during my shift at work, I started to feel really sick and started throwing up. While I had my head in a bag, I had several customers ask me for directions, and another customer abuse me for my lack of service. FML

Today, I threw up on a police officer who was trying to do a random breath test. I wasn't drunk or hungover. I'm pregnant and suffering morning sickness. FML

One, have they been made aware that you were pregnant before this incident? Two, did you tell them that you needed a personal day due to feeling sick with vomiting and all? I ask because if they were aware that you were pregnant, and they were informed that you felt sick, they can be sued. If you've even seen Horrible Bosses movie, it was made pretty clear that you can't fire a pregnant woman or there could be lawsuits.

Luckily, that shit is illegal in my country. Firing a woman fot being pregnant carries a very hefty fine here.

She wasn't fired for being pregnant, she was fired for not showing up to work on time. ...and that's how easily the employer can beat that case.

Hopefully some detal was let out. As posted I side with the boss. I can see needing to go home and change, clean up, and call in to say why you're late. I can see if you were sick beyond random pregancy vomitting that you would need to call in for a sick day. But as posted it reads like you had one of those weird random pregancy hurls, got upset and couldn't deal with it, decided you weren't going to work for the day and just went home without checking in with anyone else. I couldn't blame your boss for being really leery of wanting to put up with that for six more months.
