Show Notes

This week, Chuck and John welcome their first guest to the podcast - HR Stories Podcast Social Producer, Kait! When Kait was working in a sales, commission-based role and prepared to go out on maternity leave, she ran into pushback from management around her compensation. When she returned she encountered confrontation around how she was scheduling her pumping time.

Along with Kait's story, Chuck and John talk about additional considerations when working with pregnant employees and how to ensure you are following the law and avoiding discrimination.

The team also talks about Slow-Mo Mondays, Quiet Quitting, and Resentism and how the post-COVID work world is having difficulty holding employees accountable.

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
