[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as someone who experienced horrendous and unrelenting morning sickness, and was asked to reapply for her job as soon as she walked back in the door from maternity leave, I offer you this piece of advice: Hold your cards close. My boss and I were super tight and I never dreamed this person would push me out of their team. This was pre-COVID so our situations are different, but going through what I went through I will never trust a boss or company again. Don’t underestimate the sneaky maneuvers that managers and firms will use to make it seem like it had nothing to do with the pregnancy or maternity leave.

I’m sorry you’re in such a tough spot. Really and truly. I just want you to look out for yourself and your family. I made the mistake of thinking my boss would always look after me and it was heartbreaking. [/quote]

There are two sides and we need to hear the other side
  If you were out sick the entire time, yes, you would need to reapply for your job.  Also, the law simply states that you must be given a comparable job, not the same job.[/quote]

PP here. Nope. I was sick the whole time but continued to be a top performer on the team. Earned a number of certifications during my pregnancy. Was told I would be promoted. Team leadership gave me plenty of praise and my performance reviews were stellar.

I walked back into the office on my first day back and there was an icy chill in the air. I was left out of team meetings and dinners. And then they dropped the bomb on me that I had to reapply.

I know it’s hard for people to believe that sometimes these things happen, despite there being laws and HR organizations in place to prevent them. But it happened. I never thought it would happen to me but it did.
