One of the nice things about being an adult is we generally don’t need to ask anyone’s permission to go to the bathroom. It’s a basic necessity that we take for granted.
A woman recently turned to Reddit’s legal advice subreddit with a disturbing question: Can her employer fire her for needing more bathroom breaks while pregnant?
She’s pregnant, works in a call center, and the company has threatened her with termination if she takes more than 10 minutes’ worth of bathroom breaks in a shift. She wrote:
I’m pregnant (with complications) and currently employed by a large credit union in Colorado.
