Dear Annie: I have worked for my current employer for six years. I started out doing grunt work and ended up as assistant manager. As soon as I became pregnant, however, I was demoted.
Two months ago, our manager took a job in another city, and I thought I would be moved back to the assistant manager's position. When nothing happened, I called my district manager, and he said, "I figured you would not want that position because you are a mom." I was incensed. Worse, they hired a man, and I am training him. I have made up my mind to quit. The stress I put on myself and my family for this company is not worth it. Am I overreacting? -- North Dakota Dear North Dakota: Has your district manager been living under a rock for the past 20 years? Demoting you when you became pregnant, and passing you over for a promotion because you have children, is called sexual discrimination, and you can sue the company. We recommend you contact a lawyer.
