Actually, if maternity leave works anything like disability pay in the US. They have to hold your position until you get back, but once you are back they can demote/fire you if they wish. They just have to be able to prove that it wasn't because of any of the typical discrimination reasons. She probably won't win this, as all they have to do is have a bunch of paperwork saying why. |
From the article:
But upon return, Konami allegedly demoted her and docked her pay by ¥200,000 ($2,000) per month, citing the "burden" of child rearing.
If Konami actually said that, it's clearly discrimination.

wow on two parts. (and yes, I was lazy and didn't click the link this time)
1. actually stating that.
2. getting docked $2000/month. She has to be making a lot. If I got docked that much I'd quit imediatly and find another job.

Times are tuff all around, I am sure a lot of people would have just accepted this. I would probably do the same thing she did. This is total bs and it sounds like something only MS or Sony would do. :P J/K!
