Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Pregnant T-Mobile Employee Forced to Take Vacation.

Welcome to the Republican world, enjoy your stay. Employee's are slaves, you're getting paid........ for now. Hello China. Don't get pregnant.



T-Mobile forced a pregnant employee to clock out every time she used the restroom, even after she obtained, by company request, a doctor’s note urging her to drink more water, ABC reports.

Kristi Rifkin worked at company call center in Nashville for four years before she became pregnant with her third child. As she explained in a blog post for MomsRising.org, “it was a very, very rough pregnancy” that required special medication, twice weekly visits to the doctor, and high water intake.

As Rifkin naturally started using the restroom more often, her employers warned her that trips to the toilet were at the expense of company time. In her post, Rifkin describes the pressure she felt to keep her job, even going so far as putting her physical well being at risk by eating and drinking less.
