I’m a young mother of one and pregnant for the second. I was employed in a Paint Company as the Customer Care Representative before I was lured out of the company by one of my customers who was so impressed with the services I rendered with promises of a better career. They brought me into the company when I was 6 months pregnant. Suddenly the wife of the MD said I tricked my way into the company and sacked me. I left where I’m entitled to so many benefits only to be disgraced by this new company. Is pregnancy a crime in the corporate world? How do I handle this betrayal for its tearing me apart?
I got this touching mail from a reader who wants to remain anonymous. Let’s call her Mrs J.
Mrs J, I am deeply sorry about what you had to go through. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
This goes a long way to show that there are lots of factors to be considered before making important decisions like resigning from a job and resuming a new appointment. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? Do share your experiences and jump in with some advice for Mrs J.

March 10, 2015 at 3:41 amMrs.J’s Employer if not doing the rite thing, the case will or should go to the higher courts in the land and that’s the supreme court. For wrong fully terminating a pregnant lady which falls under the jurisdiction of discrimination. She would need an effective didcrimination lawyer to fight her case. First she need a termination letter from the employer outlining why she was terminated. And with no compensation. She should take that letter to the human resources to file for unlawful termination. The labor dept. May take longer to respond. If their responce is not satisfactory, then dhe need an effective didcrimination lawyer to fight her case. There should not be any money changing handd between she and the lawyer until the case is settled. I wish her the best.
