There’s no way to keep this short. HR tried to discriminate against me because of my pregnancy. But only because I’m an expert in employment law was I able to object to their discriminatory treatment and pressure them to do what was lawful. I had a high risk pregnancy where my doctors thought my baby wouldn’t survive. I told HR everything. But they tried to force me to keep doing for them what was putting my pregnancy at even more risk. I was under tremendous distress. My baby survived and it was a miracle he was born healthy. During my FMLA leave I asked if upon my return they could let me work from home sometimes so I can avoid leaving my 3 month old baby in daycare 13 hours a day. None of my essential functions required me to be in the office. The company was already letting 2 men work from home who actually needed to be in the office. But I was told no because “my functions were outsourced” and they’re “going in another direction” with my position. That’s a violation of my rights under FMLA and Paid Family Leave. Upon returning to work after my FMLA & Family Leave, some of my essential functions were in fact removed from my position. I was given new functions, one of which was a less desirable task that was originally assigned to another employee. This is just all so wrong. So I resigned. My advice to you... If you’re a woman and you plan on having children, RRD may not be the place for you.
