I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and my supervisor has been unreasonably intolable about my work schdule. This month alone I have worked EVERY weekend. I had one Saturday and Sunday off this month, actually this weekend and on Tuesday she just pulled the clipboard down and made a annoucement that the schulde was going to be revised, and then took my weekend away without asking me if I had anything planned or anything! I'm growing so frustrated with her and her methods, she is totally unprofessional and does not deserve to have her position! What can do about her antics, and is it even legal or fair.

In response to trying to talk to her, I have. She is an 41 year old woman with kids, and has never had a child before. I cannot expect her to understand what I am going through. She figures that if she can come to work, we can too regradless of the circumstance. She is totally unsympathic to any one with family issues or any me being pregnant. So talking to her at this point would be moot; she works me several days straight and then gives me one day off to send me off working several days again. In my current condition I CANNOT recuperate on one day. And finally when my two days approach, she takes it away with explaination or remorse. I've had enough.

Its legal as long as they pay you for all hours worked. as for fair nothing in this world is fair anymore. bout only thing you can do is go job shopping and hope you get a better one than you got now. you should try to get a man for boss next time they seem to be more fairer than women are men only get hang overs and women gets pms which last longer.

Not in the UK and not if the contract between employer and employee doesn't specifically address this point. It would be in the form of a phrase "the employer X reserves the right to alter blahblahblah at any point without notice" Beside which it is just not the "done thing" in terms of employer/employee relations. As an employer of three staff I would not DREAM of it.

unfortunately it is legal. im sure your employee handbook states that management can change any and all policies without notice at any time. this means that the person next to you can abide by different rules than you can. she obviously is motivated by greed and has set high expectations for the company that you work for and doesnt have the skills required to pull it off. a good manager can step on somebodys shoes without messing up there shine. if her superiors are appreciative of her efforts you are screwed. find a new job and be sure to question other employees that work there how they like the company and management. or find a company that has a good union that doesnt allow such abuse. good luck

most companies have procedures for such things, as well there being state and federal laws to deal with. i run into something like that where i work, although I'm not pregnant. sometimes the needs of the job over-ride our personal ones. still, if she seems unfair, go over or around her. just because someone is in a position of power doesn't mean they handle it well. good luck.

If your workplace is like millions of others, you have no control over your employer. When you find somebody that actually LIKES their boss, let me know. Talking to her definitely couldn't hurt. Let her know your situation, much like you just told us here on Yahoo! If she has any humanity at all she will listen and consider your position. If she is not going to be the professional one, then YOU be professional and do what you think is right.

You need to get a doctor's note that says specifically what accommodations you need due to your pregnancy and present that note to your employer. Your employer will schedule a conference with you, and you can work everything out.
Advice: Your employee handbook can be your best friend. Be sure that you know it backwards and forward. Know every policy.

It is NOT fair. It is legal. She is being a real witch. You could go to Human Resources and file a grievance against her. Tell the Human Resource manager that you feel she is being unfair to you because of your pregnancy. This witch needs to go down.
Good luck. Talk to someone, don't let her get away with it.

Your employer can do those things... but if you can somehow prove it's related to your pregnancy and that you are being singled out, I'd say a good attorney could take it from there.
