When Jennifer Paviglianiti, 29, of Centereach, N.Y., discovered she was pregnant, she hoped to wait until the three-month mark to tell her boss, John Doxey. But workplace gossip got to him first. Once Doxey heard the news, Paviglianiti says, he immediately showed he had doubts about her work status.
Now, Paviglianiti says, she has been unfairly let go from her bartending job at the Cafe Royale gentlemen's club. She has filed charges of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The charges, which were received by the EEOC on February 2, say the "cause of discrimination" is based on "sex, retaliation, perceived disability, and pregnancy." In the charges, Paviglianiti says she "encountered continual blatant discrimination," and that Doxey told her customers are "not coming in to see sexy bartenders that are pregnant and bulging out."
