Well to start off Ive been with the company for about 2 years, when I was hired i was hired as Full-time so i work Monday thru Sunday Different hours like many of you there were days when I was there from Open to close .. Anyhow Last year Dec "07" I found out I was pregnant and quickly notified my DM and studio manager I informed my DM that I would be working untill the day before my delivery since i was scheduled for a c-section and she said that that was fine, I also informed her that since i am a single parent of 2 at the time that i would work Monday - Friday but couldnt work weekends because of no weekend sitter she told me that it would be fine as long as i could Work Mon- Fri. Well lets just say that she did take that to heart .. While pregnant she had me opening and closing everyday and and floating between stores in different cities mind you I had no Transportation so i was riding the bus .. There were nights when i didn t get home untill almost 9 at night . I told her about it but she didnt care as long as she had someone to cover rthe stores .. Now Like i said I had NO problem working Monday - Friday but i felt like she totally took advantage of me .. Later in June I called to get my schedule and she told me that I was taken off the schedule of course i asked why and she told me that she had put me on Maternity leave .. WHATT ????!!! WHY??? .. i asked and she simply said that because I am pregnant she does not feel i should work (Can u say Discrimination ) .. I couldnt believe that she took it upon herself to just put me on maternity leave without my consent. I called my Studio manager and told her what happened and she said she would talk to the DM and see what was goin on I later recieved a call from my Studio manager and she told me that my DM told her the same thing That i was off the schedule because she felt as if i shouldnt work because i was pregnant and that it was going to be an unpaid leave because i was part time .. SINCE WHEN !!! .. Anyway because of her i had to give up my apartment and move back in with my mother untill i had some sort of income comming In .. You know i tried to plead with this lady about even putting me on for atleast 1 0r 2 days and she just said "Im sorry".. After I had my Son I called to go back to work and they gave me a hard about that when i Finally did go back I worked my 1st day and then camein on the second day and was greeted by a RUDE employee who screamed at me about were I had been as if i was late .. i told her that i was schduled for 1 and she screamed no i was suppose to open I called my New Studio Manager since the old one had walked out on them while i was on this "Unpaid Leave" and told her what was goin on she had the nerve to tell me that she had to "RE-Vamp " the schedule and had me scheduled that day from open to close .. Funny i said i was never notified of this and she says "Oh I thought I told you" then she proceeded on by saying well we dont have ur number can u write it down so we can have it .. Once again Funny because this was the same lady who called me to give me my schedule in the first place.. Anywho I called the DM and told her about what Had been going on and she had the Audicity to yell at me over the phone and say I was suppose to open for me to clock out and go home then slammed the phone in my ear VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and IMMATURE! .. Needless to say the next 3 days i was suppose to work I all of a sudden was "Off" .. No Im not fired just "Off". So I take it upon myself to call corporate and tell them about EVERYTHING including this whole maternity leave w/0 my consent .. they say that they will be investigating it and will take care of it . well its two weeks later and guess what they supposdley took care of it they tell me now that they can give me hours on what ever is left over after the studio manager and the other employees are scheduled NEVER heard of it my whole time working for CPI formely PCA .. So Now Im scheduled 1 day a week 4 hrs are you kidding me !!! then the one day that they do schedule me for is a weekend wich was agreed upon myself and the DM that I cannot work because of my Situation Howw Slickkk !!! ... So Basically I have no hours ! ... I am still with the company only because I refuse to quit and I know that they will not fire me because they do not want to pay out unemployment Needless to say I AM TAKING CARE OF IT !! LEGALLY! .. This Comapny is Full of SHIT ! xcuse my language and does not care about their Employees all they care about is their average and makin surethe studio stays open ! I Would never give my consent for anyone to work here I hope that they are Seen for what they really are and SHUT DOWN !! Im praying on it .
