Why? I hate working with them, too. They chose to be pregnant, yet I'm expected to make concessions for them. If I went and had elective cosmetic surgery, would I get the same concessions a pregnant woman would get? Hell no. Pregnancy is elective, too, yet people treat it like its a necessity.
Then after they have the thing, you are expected to make due for 3 months with temp workers while they take their maternity leave. This means you are there with a pulse with a license while the universe crumbles around you. And they ALWAYS have them near the end of fall. Just in time to miss the hell months of hospital pharmacy practice. And if not then, it's during the Summer so it ****s up everyone's vacation time. Plus I have to pay taxes to pay for their children to receive an education...them having children makes my insurance premiums higher...AND not only that, the majority of people going into pharmacy are woman...and the type of women that apparently like having 3 bloody children...in a row...and at the same time as each other.
I swear to god, when I'm a director, I'm only hiring men, hermaphrodites, women that are sterile, post-menopausal women, and women who hate children like they hate men that leave the toilet seat up.
So...no...pregnant women get nothing from me. They are annoying. They slow down pharmacy practice and make other peoples' lives harder because they want a baby. The exception are the type that work until the pregnancy, have the thing, then come back like a week later. I'd be cool with that. They don't screw up everyone else's world for months. And, yes, I know I'm an "*******" and my opinions are "abrasive"...we've established that.
THANKFULLY...my current pharmacy is nothing but men, older women, and people who have already had "all their babies" so it's not going to affect me for now. But my last job...good god. There were 3 pharmacists...all women in their late 20s/early 30s...all baby factories. At one point, two of them were on maternity leave and the other was 8 months pregnant. It was complete and utter madness.
On the other hand, if I moved to a big city, I could make a fortune if I learned everyone's computer system and became the designated "maternity replacement pharmacist" in town. Especially being that the profession is become woman-dominated. Hmmm...where there is a problem...there is an opportunity...
Ok, feminists, come tell me I'm a misogynistic *******...even though I'm right...
