More the confused explanation than confusion about the posting breach, lots of use of the word edit.Why the confused emoticon? .
Out of complete curiosity :
Would this be against equality legislation?
Or because it was not in work setting would be seen as 'friendly banter'?
Like I say I am just curious!
I agree with TDON. The remark was as stated "inappropriate and downright rude". In my view it was also sexist, seeking to attribute your decision not to drink to a gender specific reason, rather than the rational decision of another human being.Hi, I think your boss was completely inappropriate and downright rude. He made use of the social occasion to take you off your gaurd. And whilst you may wish to haul him over the coals and I don't blame you, you need to ask yourself, "am I going to make matters better or worse?".
Rising above his complete ignorance may in the long run make things less stressful for you at work, especially if you are planning on having a baby.
So have a good think about it first and maybe just be happy with the fact, that everyone sees him as a total moron. How and ever, keep the details in a diary.
Put down Tourettes and Narcolepsy. You can then sleep on the job and if anyone wakes you you can tell them to feckMy employers are doing a survey asking everyone about disabilities etc. You must put your name down.
Well he could hardly ask a fella if he was pregnant!In my view it was also sexist, seeking to attribute your decision not to drink to a gender specific reason, rather than the rational decision of another human being.
Isn't hero worship against the posting guidelines aswell?I think TDON's last 2 sentences above contain great wisdom.
No I am not pregnant but boss seems to think I should be and yes there is a promotion involved some time in the next twelve to eighteen months.
Where did I say this?he asked you if you wanted a drink
Footsteps, ask yourself this. If you told your boss (at work or otherwise) that you were pregnant and he told you he was delighted for you, would you be checking your legal rights?
And another question. If you had no intentions of taking things further, why are you even checking your rights? By the way, my wife wasn't drinking one night. Friends asked "Are you pregnant?". She said yes and they WERE delighted.
Even their mother?Regardless of any laws no one should ask any woman if they are pregnant.
Because mothers have gone through this, they are surprisingly sensitive. I wouldnt mind my mother asking me if I was pregnant but she never has. Many of my friends mum's are the same.Even their mother?
Purple - really what I'm trying to say is don't ask anyone if they are expecting .... I was asked once when I was wearing the fashionable at the time smocks and wasn't the better of it for a long time...
