The project manager is determined to protect her leave and insurance between now and her due date. She said, “Unless they want to make it an obvious discrimination case, they’re going to have to keep me..

Unfortunately, stories like the project manager’s are not uncommon. Discrimination against pregnant women and new mothers is still a prevalent issue in many workplaces.
