So I'm probably being demoted today for being pg...

fair work ombudsman? they seem to do pretty good, I have called one once and the issue was resolved in 2 days!

Tried them. Can't remember what happened, but it ended in nothing. I might ring them again.

Are you part of the union? They will come to meetings like this, particularly when there is potential discrimination due to pregnancy. Grab a copy of the fair work practices, and arm yourself when you go into your meeting.

Good luck today hun xx

best of luck today - sounds like an awful situation
let us know how you go. Is there an HR manager or similar who can attend with you?
Take notes in the meeting and it may be worth writing down your main pts also so you dont lose them.
I would also communiocate in writing and get him to 'accept' anything that is determined so you dont end up in a he said/she said situation.
personally i wouldnt bring up co workers or personal things - keep the discussion v official and professional. the other struff clouds the issue.

Rivlas, I'm not about to suck up to him, and I have the support of almost all of the other staff. Two of the Chef's have said they would leave if I left! I doubt it, but the token kindness was nice. They keep telling me just to serve it right back to him. I keep building my confidence while he's not around, but as soon as he speaks to me I shrivel into a mouse! Aside from him, the job is great.

Ryatha, no, I'm not part of the union. I just spoke to the ombudsman again, I took down some notes, so am forearmed. But again, maybe the mouse will come out and I won't say any of it. Thank you for the good luck.

MummaPan, There is no HR, just him. Even the Chefs won't be there at that time for me to drag one of them with me. Do you think I could take the Man? Re the co-workers, etc, I think as far as he's concerned, it's all tied up together and I need to go.

I would not accept anything today. Just listen to him. Take notes and say you will get back to him.

Good luck!!

Hmmm not sure witj taking The Man - I guess it depends on the conversation and the org but I dont think he would serve the purpose you need ie an impartial person (ideally a professional who deals with this)
Just write it all down, dont go in as though you are ready for a fight... listen and write down what he says and tell him you need to think about it all.
If it is about you being pg that is one thing, if he has issues with your performance that is another. he needs this documented in any case.
Best of luck.

The union may still help you out even if you aren't part of it, maybe give them a call?
