    I was first denied unemployment. After the hearing with the Georgia Department of Labor, I won my case. It was determined that I was fired due to medical restrictions. I then went to the EEOC, where i have documentation on paper,  that I was fired.  I was told that the company did fire me. The GM admitted that I had to reapply to come back to work. And that I was seperated from the company.  The company never gave me FMLA and I was at that time 3months pregnant.  I begged the GM to let me work. I have NEVER in my life been so humiliated.  I hope no one ever go through what I went through.  I ended up homeless and at the Salvation Army while pregnant.  My child was born prematurely because of all the stress. She has a therapist that comes to the house to deal with her disabilities. This was and still is a bad situation. I would like to get my story out in the open, to help other young women.

I work at McDonalds. Ever since I told my store manager I was prgnant she has treated me like crap. She cut my hours from 5 days a week to one or two, and eventually wiped me out of the system. So i wasn't even listed as an employee. I picked up shifts though and she claimed to not know what happened, promising she would fix it. She never did. i get really bad back aches while there because I have to be on my feet the whole time. There are no positions where I would be able to sit down. I told her that daback back booth (taking money ion Drive Thru) was the worst because all you do is stand in one place and it made my back hurt really bad. After that I was put in back booth every time.  I was not given any special treatment. The last day I worked it was very hot in the store. I was "presenting" which means handing food out of the Drive Thru. The drinks are on one side, the food on another, and the window on another, so I am constantly turning in circles to get the order together and then hand it out. This plus the heat made me very dizzy. I hadn't gotten a drink in a while and there was only one order so I grabbed some water. My manager told me I couldn't drink at that time bectire it was rush hour. I ignored her because there was only one order and there had never been rules against drinking. She sent me home after I told her I needed water in order to not pass out. She proceeds to tell me that working with me is annoying because I'm pregnant and that I work under her so she doesn't have to accommodate me. I told her I have medical needs and she argued with me saying it wasn't medical. I told her if my medical needs couldn't be met then I no longer worked there, and as I was walking out she pushed me by my shoulder. But now is telling everyone I dumped water on her because she fired me and I'm mad so I'm lying about being pushed.
