Under the labor law in most countries around the globe, a pregnant employee deserves to take time off from their work obligations to prevent complications before, during or after childbirth. Reddit user u/IllSituation6855 shared a pitiful situation where her boss forced her to attend a work meeting despite knowing that she was in labor. The 28-year-old woman wrote how she had been working at that particular company for five years and was eight months pregnant when she started having contractions at her workplace.
