[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I let my company know during my pregnancy that I would not be coming back. I thought about who in the company might be a good choice to replace me. We got them onboard and I trained them.[/quote]

Same, except company had a re-org right before I left and dragged their feet on hiring process so I didn’t get to train but was willing. It’s unethical and sets feminism and all women back to do what OP is proposing. We want more maternity leave and to show society it’s good for everyone. Doing this bait and switch just gives bitter misogynists another reason to hate women and be stingy with benefits.[/quote]

Agreed. I have a low opinion of women who do this.[/quote]

I quit maybe 3 months after returning from maternity leave. I wasn’t sure I was going to, but my husband and I discussed the possibility and were financially prepared for it.

My job just wasn’t friendly family, despite all their claims and it wasn’t sustainable. After giving my notice, the head of HR came to me and (privately) told me that I was absolutely making the right decision. They said that they had seen woman after woman sacrifice family for the company and the company take it for granted. I have no regrets.

So, I don’t really care what others think. I made the right decision for my family. [/quote]
