I posted on here last week regarding my footwear situation at work (under a different name I think)
When I first fell pregnant my pregnancy was being treated as a suspected ectopic and I had a few days off work. I let my manager know the situation. When I returned to work I decided to apply for a promotion that came up. My manager told me I wouldn't be considered for it as I was pregnant and in her words 'in 7 months time they'd only need to replace me so it's pointless'.
I went to HR about it and they decided I could apply and I was given the promotion.
Now I am 33 weeks pregnant and quite big. 2 weeks ago I was told I could wear my own maternity clothes to work (I work in a customer facing environment in fashion retail) and could wear my Uggs. Last week she told me I couldn't wear my Uggs anymore - fair enough, I went and bought some new black shoes that I could wear comfortably.
However yesterday I was suddenly told I had to wear my work uniform (dresses etc) again and that if I came to work in anything else I'd be sent home unpaid.
So today I have come in in one of my work dresses. It is very tight and doesn't fit me well anymore. My manager has said I am dressed inappropriately! I have been told to buy something else from work to wear - I have no uniform allowance left and was told I had to buy it myself. Even with my staff discount a dress from there is going to cost a considerable amount!
she then took me aside and said that yesterday she noticed I was 'standing around doing nothing' which is completely untrue. I am not lazy at work. She said they don't feel I can do my job properly anymore and have suggested I 'revise' my maternity leave start date.
Another girl at work has apparently been offered my position when I go on ML. I pointed out I would be returning but she told me her and work have just assumed I'm not coming back so now it looks like I don't even have a job to come back to.
What can I do?
