Is this pregnancy discrimination or harassment? I usually don't stand up for myself .........?
I am 32 weeks pregnant and have been working with my company for about 2 years.
When I got hired, I told my supervisor that because I have a child under 4yrs old, that may daytime availability was limited and willing to work the graveyard shift. Everything was fine. She took leave for her own medical problems, when she came back, I just began announcing I had gotten pregnant.
Long story short, since she's returns from her leave, she has rode my *** for months, nit-picked at my work for minor details, and has now, cut my hours from 32 to 8 a week... shes removed me from 3rd shift, and it seems I am assigned the "more difficult tasks" that require heavy lifting, I am forced to stand for the FULL 8-hour shift, and she's told me I'm not allowed to wear spandex or like material, but lets the other girls wear yoga pants.... because of my many "screw ups" and since announcing I was pregnant, it seems that she refuses to make any accommodations to my daytime availability.
I am even more threatened that as my pregnancy comes to an end, I have PTS kicking in which has me paranoid, depressed and scared; and she's already hired another person to "cover me" when I am gone. I'm really panicked here.... is this discrimination (of any kind?) ? What can or should I do?
I'm now working 1 day a week. I told her my availability is Monday-Friday from 9am to 4pm, with open availability on the weekend. Before my hours got cut, I would work the full 32 hours in 4 consecutive days.

you say your hours were cut from 32 to 8...but that she makes you work 8 straight hours, so whats the problem? it shouldn't be interfering with day time since you have 6 other days off.

if you get 8 hours and you stand 8 hours what is the big deal about daytime...you have 6 days available not working....need to lie better with fake question
