A co-worker/friend of mine is almost 6 months pregnant. Her doctor ordered her to stay home from work for 3 weeks due to stress, she has had a tough pregnancy. She's not sick, she is just following doctor's orders. Tomorrow is her baby shower, which we've had planned for weeks, and her doctor has given her permission to go, it not being a stressful situation. She is worried about her job security. A few female co-workers of ours, including her direct boss, do not believe she is on a doctor's orders, even though her doctor has sent them instructions that she is not to be at work. They have said they think she is on vacation, running around shopping, doing whatever she wants, when in reality, she has barely left her bed. These women at work are telling everyone that will listen what they think, and are making her look bad. Isn't that slander?
Should she be nervous about her job? She's afraid she's gonna be fired if she goes to her own baby shower, or returns to work when her doctor says she can. This added stress is not doing her pregnancy well either. Help!
