Before I got into the HR field (about 8 years ago), I was working as a temporary employee through the hospital temp pool. I was offered my position on a permanent base. My manager found out I was pregnant and told me that she could not hire me because if she did she could not guarantee my job while I was out. I went and spoke to the HR recruiter and she was appalled; I remember her saying that she has hired several woman that were pregnant some even further along than I. And they returned to work after they gave birth but she was not sure why the manager advised them that I may not return and she was not willing to risk it. Needless to say I was unemployed. WOW!
