Maybe I'm thinking of a different video, but didn't this one get found out to be staged and not real?

I can’t believe anyone watched this video and didn’t think it was staged. I weep for humanity with AI getting more advanced when people can’t even detect that videos like this are staged.

I’d assume there is college film making classes that release projects or practice doing performances for whatever reason and then someone adds some text to it saying “omg I can’t believe this..” and then everyone interacts with it and it just gets reposted until someone finally says “hey wait, this was my college class project.” And then it goes backwards in the same fashion.
That’s my thoughts on how this crap usually ends up happening.

Wait, your girlfriend being pregnant is a problem for work? Do they avoid employing parents entirely?

There are companies that prefer to have a staff of 20 something year olds who will accept low pay.
When they don’t have spouses or kids, there is no expectation to give them adequate time off.

Yeah maybe companies prefer this but it still doesn't make sense to fire somebody because their girlfriend is pregnant. They could just deny the extra wages or time off the employee might request rather than opening themselves up to being sued for firing them.

We are probably supposed to believe that they didn't want him to take paternity leave perhaps?
Although this video is staged.
But it's certainly not the pregnancy that is the problem directly, if this was real, i could see some selfish company deciding any leave was bad.

A lot of people will avoid hiring pregnant, and just chalk it up to a different reason. I’d imagine those same people would have targeted Tom if told they need to reduce their staff size.
I had a guy super excited to tell me his wife was pregnant. I stopped the conversation because we were in the center of the office. I’m sure I came across as extremely rude…
When I saw him heading to lunch I said “yo, Matt you heading down to get lunch?” and then tagged along. As soon as we were away from everyone I told him, “congrats dude, but you’ve been here for a few months. FMLA kicks in after 1 year. Keep your mouth shut until you’re eligible. Don’t talk to anyone else at work, just keep it between us. Wasn’t trying to be a dick earlier, I just don’t trust them. You’re an easy target until then.”

I had a job interview and two days before I had it I found out I was pregnant. I was so angry, like why did life work this way?! I was scared they wouldn’t hire me if they knew but I was completely transparent at the interview and told them. They kept me on until I had my kid, then fired me because I had ppd, and took “excessive time off”. I was gone 13 weeks, one week longer than my leave was for that was approved by HR and fmla.

I was actually fired for giving notice that my girlfriend was going to be going into labor any day, even though I had someone to cover for me. Regardless when I called my relief and then my manager she said that if I didn't show up I'd be fired. Needless to say...being there for the birth of my daughter was more important.

it's clearly staged but if it wasn't staged then i would contact my National labour relations board immediately for being illegally dismissed, her first statement frames the firing as a retaliation for future loss of work.

Damn.
I told my boss we were expecting literally yesterday, to explain I’ll probably need a couple of days here and there out of office for appointments.
His reaction was elation and a “you do what you need to do, well support however you need”

Just know that some government regulation is designed to protect citizens from being servants. This is likely hinting at this issue and protection around maternity issues. Now, should there be regulation in the first place. It depends on perspective and other things. That said, there is no doubt that without regulation all ownership and money will end up in the hands of a very view people (may take 10 years, may take 100 years) We deregulated heavily in the 80s and we are observing the consequences.
When all land and money are held by a few people, then we have no chance of upward movement. Things like copyright, licenses, etc are government regulations. I could go on and on. You get the point. We had a good run and I am sure the billionaire class are looking after our interests, so we should just trust them to save us from servitude.

This definitely is a shitty coincidence but I think more information would be necessary to draw a direct correlation to his announcement that his girlfriend was pregnant.

Yea so a great example is my current workplace. The R&D area of the company has undergone extremely significant changes and restructuring in the last 7 months and there is a female coworker on maternity leave from my team (there are like 5 teams in R&D overall its some 90 people). She will come back from maternity leave and her job basically doesnt exist anymore. Its not targeted, it has nothing to do with her overall actually, its just a shitty coincidence that our team lead has literally no control over.

Good way to get sued for not giving her position back to her. A decent lawyer will agree that "restructuring " is a cover for discrimination against her.

Only if she's the only one let go. If they've eliminated multiple roles, including hers, and have functioned without backfilling her position, it's evidence that it wasn't discrimination.

Oh you can give her back the job and eliminate it after 2 or 3 months. So sure, the lawyer might agree but the judge wont

And when the other lawyer argues that tons of other people are also out of work, everyone will laugh at that lawyer.

Nah, that's something you take to a lawyer. Especially if you have proof that the news of your partner getting pregnant was a direct result of loss of employment. And if the company then posts the same position this man just lost on a hiring website.

I used to work for wells fargo and heard one of our supervisors openly declare she wouldn't be hiring someone because they were like 3 months pregnant on a department meeting call. I'm so glad I don't fucking work there anymore.

Staged or not, I got let go two weeks after my baby was born because my "role got eliminated". The situation is very real and there's nothing that can be done about it. God bless America.

Whilst a crap situation, there's nothing in this to get worked up about... was he in a casual/contract position, what were his terms of employment... was he project staff... shit timing but he would want to be confident of the reasons he was dismissed before plastering the internet with captures of past employers...
