30 weeks pregnant. I quit my serving job today.

I turned in my server’s apron this morning. It was getting to be too much. I’m 30 weeks pregnant now and for the last two months I’ve had to endure almost all of my coworkers and one manager making comments about my pregnancy or how fast I’m going and they’ve complained to my managers, saying “I don’t feel comfortable working with her because she’s pregnant and she’s got health problems and it makes me nervous to be around her.” Or the comments made directly to my face like “I can’t depend on you to go get the biscuits fast enough for me and I can run circles around you,” and other servers taking my tables because ”You didn’t get to them quick enough,” and the managers cutting my hours and only giving me two tables in my section.

I was depressed, angry, and literally hated everything about the US healthcare system. Recently started a job at a startup. My first “corporate” job and it's leaps and bounds better.

Salary 8AM-5PM no extra bullshit.

So I’m a manager over the intermodal dept. at a tire business. My scheduled hours are 8-5 my boss came at me because he’s been leaving early (3-4) to where I have to stay and close up staying until 6-6:30. So last week I started to come in at 9. This morning his bitchass pulls me in the office brings up the fact that I am salary and says “your scheduled hours are 8-5.” I retorted “Ok Allen 8-5 is 8-5, if I come in at 8 I will leave at 5 no exceptions. You understand this correct?” He had a dumbass look on his face per usual and said “well sometimes….” I cut him off and said “uh uh uh 8-5 means 8-5, you want to hold me to that, then I will also hold you to it…. I hope you didn’t get to used to leaving at 3…
