Hiring pregnant people can present some difficulties for employers. One major concern is the potential absences. Pregnant individuals may need to take time off for prenatal appointments or to deal with morning sickness or other similar issues. This can disrupt the workflow of a business, especially if we’re talking about a critical role — exactly what Reddit user Thrwwy was looking to fill.

She wanted to find a solution that was best for both the candidate and the company but eventually ended up becoming the enemy of all. Unsure of how she handled it, the recruiter made a post on the popular subreddit ‘Am I the [Jerk]?‘, asking its members to evaluate her actions. Here’s what she wrote.
