    Default I Was Told That I Had a Promotion, but Now I'm Told That I Need to Interview for It

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Indiana

    About a month ago I was told by my employer that I would be receiving a promotion to a teacher leader. At that time, he also stated that a co-worker had applied and that she would also be promoted. I was not at that point aware that the other teacher had even applied for the position. This was all said in front of several co-workers.
    I congratulated the other teacher and she hadn't even heard that she was promoted, in fact she has yet to hear from him at all.
    After a few weeks, he had not spoke to me further regarding this position, so I e-mailed him. He told me that we were both going to have to interview for the positions and that due to a third candidate applying he realized that now he only needed to promote one teacher. I'm not sure if this is illegal (verbal contract) or just unethical.

    Also, although at the time he knew that I am pregnant, we have since discovered that I am having twins and I wonder if that is changing his answer.

    It seems he knew you were pregnant when originally mentioning a promotion. (even if he didn't know about twins)

    There is nothing illegal about deciding to have you interview for the position. It seems the other teacher
    also has to now interview along with a 3rd candidate. Unless you have a binding contract guaranteeing
    you the promotion, the employer did nothing illegal here.

    You can't be discriminated against due to your pregnancy or any other reason prohibited by law but that
    doesn't seem to be the case here.
