Modern day slavery at KPMG. Employees on Maternity and Paternity leave asked to forgo promotions just because they weren’t available for work for a prolonged period of time. Nothing relating to your performance or skills.. simply because you chose to become a parent and thought about having a life!

Promotions aren’t about holding a position for a certain amount of time, they are about doing the work, learning the work, and being able to reach the work to others. If you are on leave you aren’t doing any of those things at your employer.

You are missing the point, when you aren’t working you aren’t learning and growing meaning you aren’t qualified for a promotion. This isn’t across the board because some people learn very quickly so they may earn a promotion only working 15 mos out of 24 mos but it isn’t many.

Just as a reminder … maternity and paternity leave at KPMG is 6 month. As a manager you have to gain 2 years of experience to become a senior manager. So I’d not gain 25% of experience due to personal matters, and then let’s be honest, once I’d come back, I need an adjusting period as well. If I’d be still promoted to SM, I’d be simply incompetent as a SM… and that’s just a disappointment for the entire team, cause they count on me. It’s not about the paycheck.

I think the problem is with your definition of slavery. They will not chain you to the desk and whip you if you decide to leave… if they do, it will be criminal and you should call the police. If that is not a common practice, by calling it slavery you are severely undermining what the actual slaves went through…

Now regarding discrimination: If you believe they are being discriminatory then what is holding you from filing a formal complaint? If you are right, you will be owed a settlement…

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. So if you’re trolling, this is A+. Bravo!

I think you are forgetting about the way slaves were treated. Call me when they start whipping you, lynching people, or denying you basic rights. You are being dramatic.
