I was placed at risk of redundancy 48 hours before my confirmed return from maternity leave. I was not afforded the basic levels of employment protections new mothers deserve nor a genuine redeployment. I believe this action was discriminatory in nature and I believe this has happened before. In my opinion, the redundancy consultation was disingenuous from the get go. I was quoted a package inclusive of my global service with the company. The next morning all records of this package were deleted from meeting notes. I then received a letter stating a lower package than I was originally initially presented and a proposed redeployment which was swiftly retracted when more information was requested. Despite standing firm in seeking a package representative of my global service, I was repeatedly told I was lucky to be getting what they offered as I was a part time employee (despite working full time for my entire employment at point of redundancy) and that they did not consider I had truly earned my long service leave (which I had received confirmation of in writing many months prior). The company continually requested that I sign a deed of release to prevent me from sharing my experience and they then released a different company wide statement regarding the end of my employment to what we had agreed. In my opinion, I would avoid working for this company at all costs, especially as a woman who may be growing a family in the future.
