Hi Everyone,

This question is majorly for working moms,
Did you get promoted before maternity leave begins??
Or there's some hidden rule where Managers don't promote anyone before the leave begins?? 😑

I feel you.
I'll be starting my ML on April 1st, and during appraisal discussion today I got the sense that I m not getting a good rating despite working really hard the entire year.

Now I know why some women choose not to inform at work about their pregnancy as long as possible.

The bias always comes in. When my manager knows, for example, he has 20 people on the team, he could give best rating to only 3/4, why wouldn't he try to choose someone who would continue working next year over someone who won't be around to complain or be assigned more responsibilities? It is sad, but it's real.

It's logical not to promote anyone just before maternity leave beings.
Why would the company pay you more and give you more responsibilities if you're anyway going on (long) leave?
I'm a woman and I think no woman should play victim card if she didn't get promoted just before maternity leave.

Women like 'Infosys' are the sole reason why other high achieving women are pulled down. These people have such low expectations and rub the same thing to other women.
It is absolutely true that promotion depends on past yr work and not what's going to happen later. By this logic people who go on notice period or leave company after promotion results should get their promotion retracted? Because they're not serving the company with whatever increased salary they're getting.

Though it is not ethical, that is how the world works just based on profits....No logical point to give higher salary before going for long live....this is how we have to accept the unfair world...

I have taken 2 maternity leave so far. First company paid performance bonus during ml but second company didn't even paid performance bonus. In both cases I was given average rating even though my manager's agreed that performed well and will consider during next cycle. But next cycle they said you were on leave for half the year and you still expect good rating.
However, my sister company considered her for promotion but said that they will roll it out once she joins.
So, I would suggest you to check with your manager. However, don't burn the bridge as you may require his help to extend ML or to take frequent leave going forward.

I asked this question because I had a word with my manager few months ago about the promotion. He did not know about my pregnancy at that time. He said he'll consider it during the March cycle.

I just wanted to understand if I should talk to my manager about it before the March cycle begins

One of my team member got promoted just before going on ML as she hidden about it from managers and decision was already taken

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
