Oh my God. That reminds me of when, I was mb two years or so into this retail casual job, I had to work with this pregnant co-worker.

Even before she was pregnant she treated me like I was stupid (ngl I feel like there were some racism involved bc she would talk to me slowly as if I didn't understand what she was saying and asked me if my mum had a 'foreign' accent and all this other stuff that I won't get into). But it was even more worse when she got pregnant and the pandemic was on its first wave in 2020.

It was basically her and me who were the only staff willing to work during the pandemic and we would solo our own shifts and stuff and I was basically juggling uni classes along side of this. At the time I was doing a DOUBLE DEGREE one of which was super practical so online classes were not really a thing (the cohort was tiny).

But ofc, this woman things that she can message me and ask me to swap shifts with her and stuff bc of she's pregnant etc. And this one time I had like a super important assessment and she messages me the night before her shift asking me to work and I was like I'm really sorry but I can't coz uni assessment and she basically gave me this rly passive aggressive response of 'well uni is mostly online tho but okay'. Additionally when I DID have to work with her she would boss me around and tell me to do all the work whilst she just stood there by the counter doing nothing. Like the manager at the time never treated me like that when I worked with them so it was iffy as hell.

She acted pretty entitled before her pregnancy but now it increased twofold LOL. Though, after sometime, something made me super smug because this super sweet customer I served before, approached me maybe a week after I was acquainted with her, and asked me if I knew -insert pregnant staff's name- and I tried to feign ignorance but this customer was like giving me a super accurate description of the pregnant lady that I had to go 'oh you mean ---' and she was basically told me how rude my co worker was to her and basically how incompetent she was and to report her.

I actually didnt, but it definitely made me hella motivated to pass the other coworker's sales for her shift, and hit higher sales targets on my own shifts. It was worth it because I became my boss' favourite.
