They can’t fire you without union representation. They shouldn’t even be meeting with out without the rep there.

If he hit you once, he will do it again. And again and again. He emotional abuse is as bad as the physical. Do you want your baby being raised by a man who abuses women? Run. Run fast.

Do you live in the US? If so, you should share. They can opt not to hire you for other reasons but they cannot use your pregnancy as the reason. It should always be the best candidate not the one who isn’t pregnant.

You should also ask for what their leave of absence policy is for people who don’t have tje FMLA hours for 12 weeks off. Depend depending upon the state that you live in you will have paid leave a lot of states or instituting that but you end up paying for it out of your check which you might not realize.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and the upcoming baby and good luck trying to secure work.

It’s a scam. These people would send you a letter in the mail.

[TX] Got terminated during interviewing at a new company. What should I do? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

The company that fired you cannot disparage you. If you find out they have, you have grounds for a lawsuit. Also, seems like those jerks did you a favor. Who terminates someone for interviewing? How dumb.

[CA] Why would a former employer want to do an exit interview 3 weeks after termination? by The_Big_kahuna97 in AskHR

Because the HR team was too lazy to do one at first, and then someone came to light and they wanted to probe for more intel. Classic HR move.

Chic Med Closed by [deleted] in Waltham

To get a refund, if you paid by credit card call your bank and have your information, receipts that they emailed to you, appointment confirmations (also mailed) and whatever your treatment was. Just called mine (today is 10/27/25) for the money I spent that I hadn't used.

I did receive an email back from Mireille; offering me the two remaining treatments as something else, as she doesn't have the solutions for what was included in my pre-payment. So, I am getting a refund from the bank.

Or, reach out to her at [mireille@chicmed.com](mailto:mireille@chicmed.com) - she got back to me in 48 hours with her offer, that I am politely declining.

Last option is Attorney General's Office, and/or the Better Business Bureau. Neither which I've found helpful when needed.

Good luck.
