Amazing. Shame on King Ursa and every other agency in the industry that has done the same thing.

Yeah I love they're getting called out publicly after the judgment was rendered

They weren’t just let go after mat leave...
It looks like King Ursa actually tried to get a partner to accept a demotion and pay cut after they returned to work.
And, King Ursa was so confident that was a just fine thing to do, that they let it go to trial…

Yikes.

I think “king ursa was confident that was a just fine thing to do” is the big thing here and indicative of how shitty agencies tend to treat their employees. And it’s across the whole industry.

For an industry where people are the product, these businesses have really messed up their priorities. I get that the industry is shrinking and going through a lot of changes, but that’s not the employees problem. If the agency understood their employees to be disposable, they should bake that into their model and go all in on freelance vs FTE.

More of these posts need to be made public.

The amount of times over the years I've heard someone not know you could even lawyer up is unfortunate. Look out for yourself.

And don't let people like Creative 1 keep the narrative alive that we should be giving companies any benefit of the doubt. The context is she was let go and won in court. Why are you even thinking about the company and how it was "forced to make tough decisions"??? The fact that you wouldn't immediately side with an employee returning from mat leave vs. a company is a wild take.

Most cases don’t go to trial and the payouts are NDA’d. I’m surprised this went to trial but that’s why the agency name can be disclosed. I just got 40 weeks plus benefits with just a bit of back and forth from a lawyer.

This happens more than it should in this industry (and this day and age for crying out loud). Thank you for calling them out 👏

Very nice but would love if instead of virtue signalling Toronto agencies actually gave a proper parental leave. 6-8 weeks top up is the bare minimum and within the industry it’s seen as above and beyond. Pathetic.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
