[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We've overheard you talking on calls in our presence and it sounds like  you're pregnant and high risk." Then just stare at her. It'll be her turn to talk.

Might as well put up an ad now for a new nanny. She probably didn't want to tell you until after the new year in the hopes she gets a Christmas bonus. [/quote]

You are eavesdropping and I would tell you that it is none of your effing business.  If your boss can't ask you, then you also cannot ask.[/quote]

If it is none of their business, they should fire the nanny as she isn't reliable if she's taking off for multiple "family" medical appointments and not working as schedule.  They need to plan for her maternity leave as it impacts their family.  And, they need to know her child care plan - is she going to bring the baby (and do they agree with that) or is someone else going to care for the baby.  Its not unreasonable to know.[/quote]

How would you have reacted if your employer had fired you for being pregnant, demanded to know your childcare plans in your first trimester, and eavesdropped on your phone calls?
