Pizza Hut
Ripoff fired for being pregnant after 2 years of loyal service

I started working for my local Pizza Hut July of I was a waitress.in January My General Manager asked if my boyfriend was still looking for a job. I told him that he was and he told me to have him come in for an interview. That week my boyfriend was hired on as a delivery driver.

I became the head waitress a few months later.in January my boyfriend was presented with the option of going to shift manager. We sat down with the assistant manager (cause the general manager was in another store at this time helping) and we made sure that if he did take the management position that my hours would not get cut down or that I would not lose my job. She at that time guaranteed that my job and hours were safe. So my boyfriend took the management position.

In April I found out that I was pregnant.in June my doctor called me in for an important appointment. They had discovered that I had a blood clot on the placenta. I was given restrictions for light work no heavy lifting over 10 pounds and to stay out of the heat. The store had NO air conditioner at this time (it broke the year before) so whenever i tried to work it got too hot and I almost paseed out within an hour of being there, so I had to go home.

In the end of June my general manager came to me and my boyfriend and told me that I had two weeks to buy a car and transfer to another store or be fired. There was no way I could buy a car at the time because I was unable to work and had no money coming in. What little money I had went on bills and things that I needed at home.

So in July I was fired. I then proseeded to draw unemployment. They appealed it and lied saying that I was dating the General manager (who is my cousin-in-law and married to my cousin) That I deliberatly violated a company policy, when in fact they created the situation with me and my boyfriend. The manager told another waitress that worked there at the time that I was fired for my pregnancy and the complications that I had with it.
