Totally. I was very lucky in my old job, my boss was 100% supportive and flexible although that said I didn't get paid maternity leave by my employer. But among my female working or used to be working mama friends most get the raw end of the stick. Returning from maternity leave and having to return to full time work or not return at all. Or no flexibility with regards to when they can return to work. Or returning from maternity leave but returning to a fundamentally different role, and again, with a take it or quit caveat. And these are the ones with paid leave. Essentially, all these examples mean that the women are in danger of losing control of their own careers, or at the very least, losing traction.
