Period. Stop making things so complicated.[/quote]

This but I would leave out the 7:45-8:45 part.

I have a dr. appointment on X date that I can't reschedule. I anticipate being logged on by 9:30.

Congrats on the new job and the little one, OP. [/quote]

+1 and say "I can provide documentation if needed."

Plenty of people with other chronic med issues that need medical attention, kid or family medical needs, etc. What if someone just got sick, they can't take a day off? This sounds like an awful workplace culture OP (per what you said about your manager) so good luck.[/quote]

Op here. We do have PTO but they don’t want you to take it until after training. I think this is specific to healthcare customer service type of jobs. It does sound awful and there is high turnover in this field.

OP What does this training entail?  Are there recorded lectures you could watch in advance to make up the 2 hours you will miss?  I would get a feel of the training the first few days and figure out the best way to minimize the impact of missing and then let them know that in advance that you have a doctor's appointment on this day and here's your plan to minimize impact on training.

(FWIW I don't think not disclosing you are pregnant at 4-5 weeks is Lying especially if the training was supposed to start at a time you had no medical conflicts.) [/quote]

Op here. For hourly positions you can’t do anything off the clock. I did that with a job I had with apple and got fired because of it. Usually the training is all live and modules. You’re learning how to navigate through all the softwares, take notes etc etc. Once you get through it all you will be fine but missing a day or even an hour isn’t the best because you may miss an important step. Hopefully by that time all the tech stuff will be out of the way.
