That's not right... I get dizzy if I stand for 10 minutes it seems like... hope you get it figured out..
Im on my feet 10 hr days and its a killer!!! I feel your pain!!!
Get a doctors note and present it to them. Then they'll have no right to tell you that you have to stand.
I was a cashier at walmart for a short time when I was around 20 weeks pregnant. My feet and back hurt all the time and my feet were always swollen. My doctor gave me a note to give them but they still wouldn't let me sit so I ended up quitting. It's not right for work places to not let you sit down when you're pregnant. If you need to sit, sit.
its not ok because they should be nicer.. but is not wrong of them is a job its a business they cant cange their policies because you are pregnant i would say quit if you can or get a note from your dr but is not a guarantee that they will change their ways.. I use to work 8 hour shifts standing once i found out i was pregnant i decided to quit they were nice they got me a chair and all but it was a busy place and couldnt sit for long periods and i was cramping... also is not good to stand too long especially if it hurts
I stand all day at work. I wear running shoes with orthotics to ease the pain. However, if I move around it's not as bad. Get a doctors note or ask them to let you have sit breaks.
hi, I hope this link below is helpful, it's to the EEOC regarding your rights in the workplace as a pregnant woman and also your rights after the baby is born as well. I was fired 3 hours after I told Walmart. They told me it was inexcusable attendance. My problems with attendance had excuses, it was for workmans composition. They still fired me so now I try to help out anyone I find who's having problems in the workplace that's even related to pregnancy.

Not sure where you are located but we have a light duty note we could obtain which basically is lay off or they must accept it
