Just $205,000? Should be millions.
Probably a good idea for pregnant women to spend more time in the kitchen and less time trying to ‘climb the corporate ladder’.
Hopefully a lesson was learned by Walgreens.
Should be a lot more
Chances are, the miscarriage was a given.
Nevertheless, that in no way excuses by any means the store from letting her go get medical treatment. Aside from the fact that she could have ended up with uncontrollable bleeding, that is embarrassing for any woman and traumatic for a pregnant woman to go through. Any woman being pregnant knows that if you start bleeding during the pregnancy, you get medical attention ASAP.
I only skimmed the article. Poorly written as usual.
But while the company deserves a good kick in the balls, for crying out loud, my wife would have said eff off I’m going to the doctor and you will catch hell for your threats later.
Walgreens did not “stop” her from leaving - that clearly implies she was physically restrained. Who hires morons like this to write headlines?? They said she would lose her job if she left. She should have prioritized properly and then dealt with Walgreens after.
I call BS
This manager simply lacks common human decency. A pregnant woman bleeding, freaking let her go to the ER. The store can survive short 1 person.
Her manager refused to let her go until someone could fill in for her — but then said “she could not find a replacement for her”
I am a woman and I don’t think I am the only female to tell you that woman bosses can be the worse sort of beyotchs. Especially to female workers.
Just leave, they can’t stop you. Years ago a tornado was heading towards where my kids were. My boss said I couldn’t leave. I said watch me. When I arrived I scrambled to get my kids and the babysitter in the bath tub with mattresses for cover. Scariest thing I ever lived thru. After the storm the field behind the house was littered with pink insulation from all the homes that were hit. We survived and when I returned to work I tendered my resignation.
Nobody can tell me what to do when my safety or my families safety is at hand.....NEVER EVER!
She must have been white
Walgreens didn’t let pregnant worker leave and she miscarried.
