I don’t believe tenure should play a role in anyone’s promotion. If performance justifies a promotion, then yes. If performance / skills are lagging a bit (which is possible for anyone who is out a year), then no.
Yes. If she was in track to being promoted when she goes on leave she should be promoted in that cycle. Folks know about promotions a year in advance (if you are being properly coached). I worked with a woman who was promoted to partner while she was on mat leave. She was a Boss! Otherwise you are punishing women for having children
I don’t have children, but I’d say no. They can get tenure in the company that goes toward whatever those benefits include, but for a promotion, I’d say no assuming all else was equal. Maybe if the female employee came back firing on all cylinders like she never left, possibly
As in, should the woman’s tenure ‘clock’ include the time she’s out on maternity leave? No. Just like above - unless she comes back 2x as productive and valuable as before, things should be ‘frozen’ when she leaves.
I don’t have children yet but I don’t think maternity leave should be counted towards tenure. Unfortunately it is a trade off we have to face. It’s only a punishment that after you come back and are required longer tenure than male colleagues to be promoted.
I don’t think we are talking about the same thing here. I’m not arguing whether tenure is a legitimate metric for promotion. I’m saying in the case that tenure is required, say at BCG it takes 18-27 months of PL work to be promoted to Principal, the parents’ time at home with the baby should not be counted towards the 18-27 months.
OP are you saying that women’s career’s should be set back because they didn’t come back from leave quickly? Or that by signing up for having children we should acknowledge that our careers are being set back? Let me ask this, if a man had to take a leave of absence due to a contentious divorce (as an example), would you expect this to set his career back? Not trying to be defensive, genuinely trying to understand your PoV.
