[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You got DEIed.  Everyone deserves an equal chance to be VP, even if they don’t work.

Who has been VPing during her leave?[/quote]

You gestate, give birth too and provide nourishment every few hours for a year to a human being and then come back and tell us how it’s NBD. [/quote]

It is a big deal! That's why you can't be a VP while doing it! [/quote]

You guys are unbelievable! Apparently, you don't think women should be VPs at all. Under your logic, no mothers should be working and women should stay at home. The people who don't want to make any accommodations for women in the workplace are also ironically the people who are the most concerned about low birth rates.[/quote]

Many of us female underling women were fully capable of taking 12 weeks (or less) of maternity leave and returning to our low paying jobs.  It seems this VP is taking advantage of a very generous situation.  I doubt she’s ever coming back.[/quote]

The fact is the reason a lot of the underling women return after 12 weeks is because they have no choice financially.  It is quite common for women who are very well off (husband a physician or law firm partner or comparable) to quit after maternity leave. It is really easy to walk away when you have financial security and you realize that you don't have to kill yourself taking your baby to daycare and working full time.  It is different when your family relies on you for the rent or mortgage.[/quote]

Taking 36 weeks, extending leave twice, and calling your manager to express concern over job security is not walking away. [/quote]
