[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 returned from maternity leave and was laid off within a month.  What's your opinion of employers who do that?

Ultimately, you have to put your family first because your employer won't put you first.[/quote]

I think they are crap and should be exposed and, when possible, taken to court.

I don’t care about employers. I care about all women and the perception of women and how that perception affects all of us and our opportunities. Becoming a mom to a daughter made feminism feel very urgent to me, and I act on that when I can.[/quote]

I care about all women too and think they should use their earned benefits within their employers policies.  So should the men!  I do not have a low opinion of women “who do this.”  Feminism does not equal bending to the (generally male) perceptions of women - it’s about equality and women having the same rights and same opportunities as men.
