A Girl Is Starting Rumors and Trying to Get Me Fired
Five or six months ago, a girl started spreading rumors at my club that I was pregnant. Girls started coming up to me and asking me about it (a different one every time). Of course I'd say no, but then id just drop it. I really thought at the time that it was because I'd gained my weight back from being clean so long. (I weigh 145 and I'm 5'7", before I was 125)
After about 3 or 4 months people were still talking about it to me, and I hadn't gained any more weight since then. So obviously it was stupid to actually think I was pregnant. I make about 3 times more now then when I was skinny. So I started to think its a girl who is jealous of me and just trying to start something (It has to be because i never start drama and I don't know anyone who has a problem with me, in fact I have NO IDEA who would be doing this)
Well, today I didn't feel well so I went to ask the manager if I could go home early. He looked at me and said, "another girl told me you were pregnant."
I was shocked. I told him "No, I'm not pregnant!" At this point i was absolutely furious.
"Are you pregnant?" He didn't seem like he believed me and he had this disgusted look on his face. "Because she says that you've been talking about it to people."
So then I had to stand there and assure him no, I hadn't told anyone that I am pregnant because I am not pregnant. This was also new because so far its been "i think shes pregnant" not the bold lie that "she told me that shes pregnant" He would not say who the girl was, and I explained also that I didn't understand why this girl would have a problem with me although obviously she does.
All I can take from this is that this girl obviously is trying to get my job by saying that I'm pregnant and shouldn't be working. I doubt she has the power to get me fired, but I couldn't believe shed take it to the point of trying to in the first place. When it was just rumors I didn't care because I make money and I don't care what the other girls have to say about me, but its starting to go way too far for my tastes.
Update: Today I went to work and the manager told me that I am fired. I asked him if it was because of the rumors and he said "no, its for multiple reasons," and would not elaborate. However, I can't think of anything else it could be and as far as I know I have done nothing else wrong. Also it can't be a coincidence since they decided to fire me the day after this girl went to talk to him. I'm really shocked since I've always made lots of money, tipped well and as far as Im concerned was always good at my job and took care of the rest of the club as well. I really thought that there was no way they would fire me over something that silly. I've also considered that maybe the rumors brought up the fact that I was too fat or something, but that doesn't make sense either since there are many girls who are a lot fatter than I am, and no one else is being fired.

Since no one will cough up a name, all you can do is keep working and not have a baby bump appear. Don't they think after 4 months it'd be obvious? I understand the weight gain, I've gained kind of a lot but no one has asked or talked about me being pregnant. That's ridiculous.

i've had to deal with the same exact thing..i had been stick thin for years, and then suddenly i gained some weight..then a little more..and more..and soon the compliments turned into " are you pregnant??" whispers. i got called into the office TWICE about it. the owner even talked to me about the rumors. i couldn't get through a shift without it being mentioned, and i was about to piss on a stick in front of everyone but after a month or two people could see there was no baby bump appearing, so it abruptly stopped. just wait it out.

Ppl are so damn nosey/ignorant
Re: A Girl Is Starting Rumors and Trying to Get Me Fired
I thought someone at my job was pregnant but didn't discuss it with others. I wouldn't personally work in my club if I was but it's her body and nine of my business.
Sorry this happened to you.

Yah I guess the difference is that the rumor has spread so slowly, sometimes it will be another week or so before I hear it again. It seems like people bring it up the most when I'm on my period and bloated. :-\ But still, even then I don't think its bad enough to even consider the cause being pregnancy.
Its already been half a year or so, so it can't be much longer. Like you said, I'll just wait it out and try not to let it bother me.
