I just recently interviewed for a home health position and was offered the job. A few days after the interview I found out that I am pregnant. The job has a lengthy training process and by the time I would be done with it I would probably be going out on maternity leave, so I decided to tell the lady who offered me the job that I am pregnant, just to be fair ( I should have kept my mouth shut). Anyway when I called to tell her, I ended up talking to her assistant and the assistant said that either she or the hiring lady would call me back. So 2 days later I have a message from the hiring manager saying, "Looking forward to seeing you at orientation, I do want to chat with you". So I call her back and leave a message with times I can be reached as I am currently working at a hospital day/evenings. I have been waiting to talk to her before I put my notice in at my current job. So no call back for a couple of days, so I call and leave her another message. Still no call back, so I email her explaining that I am waiting to hear from her to put in my notice, still no response?? So my husband thinks I should go there and ask to talk to someone in HR because I am getting no call backs. I do not think that is appropriate. I think she is not calling me back for a reason, like she doesn't want to hire me now because I am pregnant and she can't exactly take back an offer??? What so you all think? Maybe I am just being paranoid.....

Just wanted to let you all know that I decided to try calling her again before I drove over there and she finally answered! And yes I have the job and start Sept 10! Thank you all for listening!

Thanks lots of exciting chanegs all at once!

If I went there, it wouldn't seem stalkerish? My husband says it just shows persistance.......

You sound like me, and your husband sounds like my husband. In fact, my husband would be calling them several times a day and yes, stopping by the office. I understand how you feel, but from the perspective which I am seeing it it seems totally justified. We're talking about your livelihood here.
