After pregnancy discrimination at work?

ok i work in california on sep. last year i delivered a premature baby, 4 months after he passed away in the NICU.... i took 2 months when i had him, and 3 weeks when he passed away... am a very hard working women, am always on time and i perform my job really good, never get into trouble whin anyone... been working for almost 2 years....
i overheard my boss saying that am not going to take a promotion because i been away from work a lot, because i took time away a lot... nothing about my performance just because i took time away... is this discrimination???

no my boss is a guy and in fact that was my maternity leave

Oh my God, you poor woman :( I gave birth to a premature baby & he had to spend time in NICU. It's a nightmare situation...then you had to deal with the untimely passing of your precious child. To then be slapped in the face by your workplace treating you poorly for having the audacity to take time away from work to deal with your dying child...what monsters! I am not an expert on the legalities, but yes, personally, I would call that discrimination. And worse yet, inhumane. What a monster to say something like that about you. What you went through...no person should EVER have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

First and foremost, I am so, so sorry about your loss!

And second, yes, this is discrimination. I don't think it is the type of situation where you can take legal action for damages, but I believe it would be worth speaking with an attorney about. An attorney would be able to give you the best advice about how to handle this situation.

My best wishes to you!

More like insensitive... What a jerk (or *****, if she's a woman). I think it's sad how society is all about work these days...

That period of time should've been your maternity leave?

I don't think so neccesarily. It doesn't matter why you missed work, although I am very sorry for your loss. Why would she promote you if you've been away? You have not brough in the work. Maybe in an additional 2 months & 3 weeks you'll be ready.
