Today, I was fired from my dream job for being pregnant. Apparently, you can't teach children while growing one inside you. FML

They fired me in a clever way by telling me they didn't have anything for me to teach and that me going on maternity leave was too hard on the students I had so someone else was doing my classes. So I was not officially fired so much as pushed out and replaced

HR then court. You can't be fired for being pregnant as a teacher.

That's incredibly stupid. I'm sure you'll find a better job in not time. Good luck with the baby. I'm sure you'll be an amazing mother.

Don't let the bullies win. Fight for your rights. Stand up for yourself and expect to win.

You can't be fired for being pregnant at any job! It's illegal. I'd sue their asses

Some one is getting fired, just not you. Like the other guy said, hr, then to lawyer. You have 100% chance of winning this case.

As an HR rep, I can assure you this is either illegal or extremely sketchy. Please, please consult an attorney.

pretty sure its illegal to fire someone for being pregnant unless you signed a contract or something. fight it. that's discrimination.

Yeah they definitely shouldn't be able to fire you for being pregnant. I'd be furious. Fight them

It is rough on kids having a teacher go on leave. My brother left kindergarten not knowing how to read because his teacher got pregnant and was put in bed rest and was gone for months! Not to mention he had a slew of subs rather than one continuous teacher.

This is illegal. You need to fight back.
