Need to have a little rant. Am 38 weeks and gave up works two weeks ago. My boss and I don't get on (he doesn't get on with anyone and literally has no friends - I would pity him if he wasn't so horrible and rude) and he has always acted with disgust towards me since I told him I was pg and has gone on to hire my maternity replacement based on child bearing age - he even asked one youngish girl who came for a job interview if she was married or thinking of having children - despite the fact this is illegal and he knows it. Anyway, payday arrived and I received nothing. I called to ask what had happened and it turns out he doesn't really want to pay me for holiday - that I am entitled to. I had been offered my wages all in one go but declined as it would mean I lost out on more than £1,000 due to tax etc (the girl I replaced who left to have a baby took everything in one go because she knew he might try to stop paying her at some point).
I am now in limbo not sure how much money I am getting, when it will be paid and how it will be paid. Am so fed up. This is the last thing that I need right now. Plus one of my other bosses has had a proper shouting match with him today about it all which makes me feel very guilty. When I spoke to him this am he hung up on me (I wasn't being rude - just asking when I could expect to be paid). Grrrrrr - its a good job I am not getting my bp taken today as it would be through the roof!!!
Is anyone else having to deal with a nightmare boss while pg. Pls feel free to rant away!
