[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 23 and 21 year old. In 1999 I was pregnant and up for a promotion. My boss said “you are clearly the most qualified but since you are pregnant I think your energy and attention will be elsewhere “ and he gave the promotion to a male who was way less qualified. At the time it was legal to discriminate because of being a new mom. It was illegal to discriminate against me as a pregnant person but as a new mom it was legal. [/quote] I was recently promoted on maternity leave! We are making progress. [/quote] I read about this phenomena and saw it a few times in my own company. Some people say that promoting new mothers is a way to retain these workers. If they accept the promotion, they will stay and work harder than before. If they turn down the promotion, it is understood they are out the door.[/quote]
