Hello! I am putting my feelers out there for a new position, as with my current employer, over the past 2 years, I have been discriminated against for pregnancy/maternity leave. Was told today that my salary is now being cut significantly.

I have my PMP certification and 11 years experience managing projects and events. I am looking for a full time role either remote or hybrid in the greater LA area or St. Louis area. I’m a mom if two, but love what I do!

Thank you for your help!

If you feel that you have been discriminated against for your situation, there are laws that will protect you. I would first talk to a labor lawyer to see if there is something you can squeeze from the company. Maybe secure a second job first before you start the process with your lawyer.

I'm sorry but can they actually do that? I don't think so. Discrimination against women regarding their pregnancy or maternity leave for that matter is despised upon. Women are protected by laws and your employer should be held answerable for that. You have to speak up. Otherwise he'll do the same to others.

I have been keeping records of everything that has happened and communicating with a lawyer and they said there is nothing they can do. Aka all of the things they’ve done is still legal. Crazy world we live in!

I'm sorry to hear this - that's terrible what they're putting you through. Have you looked into any possible actions you might be able to take on the discrimination front? In the meantime, you might also find some leads in the referrals bowl. I wish you the best of luck.

Wow this is absolutely horrible, very sorry to hear this! I would definitely post on the job referral bowl to see if there is a good fit. You might want to check some research agencies such has Kantar or Ipsos - they are usually hiring!

I would wait until Q1 and just skim the job descriptions on LinkedIn. I left Healthcare years ago from being burnt out. However even roles sent from agencies for freelancers mention it. Great freelance agencies are 24 Seven & Atrium. It’s a good way to get back out there or keep your skills up to date. Good luck! LinkedIn I have recruiters reaching out daily even if it is for roles starting in Jan 23

Totally agree with this OP! that's actually awful that you're going through it, but no one will really be checking applications or following up with apps until the new year. I would reach out to some recruiters for sure in the meanwhile as they can keep working roles for you

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here.

The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
