A Goldman Sachs employee claims she was fired for taking her maternity leave. After he first materinity leave she was made to feel unwelcome, and she never got the chance to return from her second.  There is a lot of talk about descrimination in teh work place against women because of teh steriotype that they are more family oriented and will put their children first while men wont.  Women already (unfairly) make less money than men do in most jobs.  Firing a woman for taking maternity leave is unacceptable.
