A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

New law:

If you got pregnant with an employer's promise of maternity leave they should be on the hook for all 9 months.

They can either keep you on and get work out of you or they can fire you 2 months in but they're paying you all 9 months + 3 month maternity leave post partum.

Here in France it is punishable by law to fire someone during a maternity leave. This should be the norm, and then some.
