How to handle a Board Member making a shady comment about myself going on maternity leave? I think he thought I couldn’t hear. I’m so annoyed but not surprised the comment came from him. I feel a bit demoralized. I’ve been working on all these new projects for my organization before I leave. Now I just feel like my efforts aren’t being appreciated. I’ve only been here a few months.

Wow. I’m so sorry. If you can talk to your Corporate Secretary about it, I would.

I would talk to your manager about it first and then he if needed.

have it in written somewhere eg in the enail to your manager or hr if u think it can play bad on you later

Report to People Compliance

Ok well your leave is protected unless it’s a company with less than 50 employees that is exempt from having to offer FMLA.
However, I will say that if they didn’t know that you were pregnant when they hired you they’re probably bitter about it. If they did know then 🔩 that d bag.
EITHER WAY - go to your manager to have that discussion about the concern for your job safety based on that comment and DOCUMENT IT! That way if anything happens you have some proof to provide attorneys. I would also have that discussion with your manager if what the game plan is for your duties while your out and what the plan will be to integrate you back in. Document THAT as well so that you have addtl documented proof that both parties have every intention if you returning and what that looks like.
