So, I'm still looking for a job.
I had the piece of cake job that I did NOTHING all day long. Well, a few things but being a new business we didn't have many new customers. But, it was growing and slowly establishing customers. So, I had been asking the head boss (in Longview, Tx) what exactly was going to happen when I needed to take time off with having my baby girl. He finally decides to tell me about 3 weeks before I had Addison that my job position was not going to be available to me if I had to take any amount of time off with my little girl. So, here I am looking for a job.
I have been to Jean Simpson in hopes to find a job. But, today I was told that I should go do Substitute teaching and Wow, I thought... why haven't I thought of that!?! It isn't the best money but it will work until I can find a job! It will help out alot!!! And I've always wanted to be a teacher at different points in my life. And now that I have a little girl, I really want to be a teacher after recieving my bachelors in business. The hours would be perfect for when she starts going to school. So, glad to have been given this idea today until can actually find a better paying job!
Your boss told you that you would lose your job if you took maternity leave? Isn't he required by law to give you 12 weeks unpaid leave under FMLA??
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm thinking, but does that apply to small, private companys? I'd check into it.

I have found a job! Thank God. But, I do not think that a small business such as my job has to have maternity leave. I probably should have looked into it, but I was more worried with taking care of my daughter.
