Dear mothers and expectant mothers, have you faced discrimination at work during pregnancy ? I am currently an SRE in Adobe DX . My story: after announcing my boss that I was pregnant I was removed from on call against my will and put on a side track. I missed my promotion and got the lowest salary bonus since joining Adobe.

I also want to learn from your experience !

    Adobe SJ here. I think, it is your manager.

    Here in my team I have two examples.
    1. Lady coworker got pregnant, took a good 6 months off in 2018 came back and did not want to be a developer any more since it was hectic. Manager facilitated her role change without salary impact, after all we wanted to retain her knowledge.
    2. Buddy of mine took 4.5 months paternity leave, covid19 struck and he was worried, came back in the same role just fine.

  • Had something similar happen to someone I know. Although it was after coming back from leave. Sidelined into an undefined role... no unique deliverables and more of a coordinator type role versus what they were doing before. Complained to leadership and was set up for a layoff after complaining. Complained to hr, hr did nothing. They have one goal of company not getting sued. Said the person asked to be sidelined... ha! Doesn’t make any sense at all. Still a lot of bias out there and that’s why there are laws.

    Sorry to hear this, companies like Adobe have so many employees and I am sure the manager must have gone through trainings. Why do people behave like this? Please don't be stressed by this, right now take care of the life that you owe your attention. This too shall pass and you will get what you desire. Best of luck.
