Former Omaha Homebuilder Employee Claims She Was Fired For Getting Pregnant

Jammie Harms was fired last year by an Omaha homebuilder because the company's CEO believed her unborn child carried "negative energy," according to a federal lawsuit. Harms, 34, says in her lawsuit against Hearthstone Homes that she suffered religious, gender and pregnancy discrimination that led to her dismissal last June. She had been chief executive officer John Smith's executive assistant since April 2008. According to the lawsuit, Harms said her work environment turned hostile after she announced in March 2009 that she was pregnant. Harms' filing says Smith and other Hearthstone executives practice "intuitive spirituality" and incorporate their beliefs about reincarnation and energy fields in their business decisions. Smith set up phone consultations with both a psychic and a self-described energy worker because of Harms' "disconnect with her fetus." Click here to read more.
