"Hey, can you give birth a little later? It's totally going to hurt our performance metrics this quarter."
The thing that gets me is that it doesn’t even hurt performance metrics. The performance of this type of employee is not measured in hours worked. That extra week made zero difference to the company but had an immense impact on her.
The cruelty is the point.
Soon it'll be, ' give birth in our facilities then you can work when you're finished with labour, don't worry we can provide education and daycare as long as you sign an indentured servitude for you and the new employee'.
