Has anyone taken their paternity leave and then come back to work and feel like they got ‘mom tracked’? I was on a project leading a sub work stream thru 2020 but they had to ‘cost cut’. I wouldn’t have been replaced if I wasn’t on leave and now I’m riding the bench for a bit. Feels like taking my leave has drastically reduced my chances of getting promoted his year and has negatively impacted metrics for the year. Doesn’t sit well with me and wondering if others have had this happen to them.

I don’t think that has anything to do with parental leave specifically. You left your project during the worst economic downturn in recorded history. Unsurprising that it’s been tough to find a role after you came back. Sorry to hear and good luck finding the next project, but I don’t think it has anything to do with being mom tracked — just tough timing.

Right, and I get that, but the same could have been true if you took a long vacation. They had to fill the seat, and only one of you can have it.

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site.

I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
