Dell RTO mandate said to be a stealth layoff, for women::Employees feel frustrated by lack of communication and bosses’ inability to tell them which offices are open
“You can also see it in the new parent (maternity/paternity leave) policies. Male employees can come back to do the same job again, whereas female employees are guaranteed a job when they return, but there is no guarantee it will be the same one they had when they left.”
wtf?
Yeahhhhh I am not a lawyer but I think that might actually be illegal, specifically because of the explicitly different treatment based simply on gender.
Would it still be illegal if it’s based on time? Like I’ll make this up but suppose their policy was men get 2 weeks paternity leave, but women get 2 months maternity. It might actually make sense then.
Male parents are also parents. We are no longer in the era of the “stay at home mom”.
