"Mommy got fired because her boss didn't want to hear me in the background"
This story will shock you to the core. How can an employer act like this?
Working from home comes with its own set of challenges, like managing child care, remote learning, making sure your household is in one piece, and still staying healthy is a lot to deal with for any person.ย
But unfortunately for one mom in San Diego, US, she has had little to no consideration from her former employer when he fired her because her child was in the background of a zoom call.ย
The momย explains that despite meeting all her required deadlines and working around the clock, she was let go and even offered money to keep hush about her experience.
She was definitely not happy with the dismissal and neither were her kids.ย
28 days ago I finally had enough of the ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป that my boss was giving me for him not being okay with hearing my kids in the background on calls.|๐ญ๐ก๐๐ . He wanted me to figure out a way to keep the kids quiet ๐ฃ. I went to Human Resources with proof of what was going for the last 3 months and 7 days later AFTER that ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ!!!! ๐ญ They told me that I should be happy that the outcome to my career there could have been worse.
