Discrimination - seeking promotion when pregnant
Hi all, just looking to see if anyone has been through similar or has advice.
In short, I am 33 weeks pregnant today and applied for a promotion. I found out recently, after chasing up my application numerous times, that I was unsuccessful (not even an interview). One of the reasons I was given was that I will be going on maternity leave soon.
Before I received this feedback, I had applied for a different promotion. The Head reached out to me about my application, said I tick a lot of boxes and is eager to interview me. She does not know I'm pregnant and I am stuck for how to proceed.
I would love a promotion and the Head made the role sound exciting and different but, obviously, I will be going on mat leave soon. And I'm anxious that I may be further discriminated against.
If anyone has advice on how I should proceed - either with the discrimination or the possible interview - I'd really appreciate it. Thank you ❤️
