Well within my rights to not reveal I am pregnant & due to some complications, I was advised that I had a justifiable reason not to. Legally, you do not have to reveal to work that you are until 3 mths before your due date. Desperate for a job, thrilled at the prospects of the one I finally got, I got around my feelings of guilt (I felt dishonest) by reading great articles such as the one in this link: http://www.medzilla.com/press100303.html. I finally told my manager yesterday. She was initially thrilled until she heard that I was 5 months along. Having met me at language school & later recommending me for a job (she receives a large finders fee), she confirmed that had I said I was pregnant during the interview, I would not have been hired (highly illegal) & being the person who recommended me for the job, had she known prior, she would never have recommended me. If I had told them, I would be not be working now. I know I was within my rights but why do I feel so awful?
