I work at a startup where this just happened two weeks ago. Does anyone else have experience with this? This is highly concerning / infuriating. https://apple.news/Anbc5iCIjRI-lcbI0vNb4CA
Companies like this must be sued to their ass. Thatâs why I donât shop at Walmart :D
This fucking outrageous. There may have been some unethical shit that was uncovered about my company last week, but they would never do something so callous as this. What startup do you work for? Out them. They deserve it.
This breaks my heart, but doesnât surprise me, sadly.
Can you share more about what happened exactly at your startup? This is ridiculous. Iâm very unhappy at my current position so Iâve been looking for a new job while at the same time trying to get pregnant. This is disheartening
Whatâs the startup?
This shouldnât be discrimination.
Uh??? How is this NOT discrimination?
I didnât say it wasnât, I said it shouldnât be. It shouldnât be because having children is not a right, it (should be) a choice. If I hire someone to do a job and they can no longer do it (especially because of something they chose to do), I should have the right to find someone who can actually do the job. I should try and find that person more suitable work, but if that doesnât exist, then I should be able to let them go.
If they canât work, let someone else that can have a job. I donât want to carry the load
Whether you feel comfortable revealing the company name on here or not, please report this company to the EEOC.
I know for someone put on PIP after announcing being pregnant. (Not at my current company).
I know someone that was contractor at Microsoft and got pregnant (not expected) when she started working. She had to tell her manager, a pm, and was told that she couldnât continue working if she was pregnant. She wasnât aware this was discrimination at the moment and just left.
