A former Bungie employee was laid off just a week before they were due to start maternity leave, they have said.

pretty sure that’s illegal and they can sue for the maternity leave pay as well as discrimination….
lots of corps(e) don’t want to employ mothers of young children, as there’s lots of legally excused absences and they can’t press them for as much overtime….

Only illegal if the maternity leave was the reason, and it can be shown to be the reason. Over 200 people were also laid off at the same time. I have no doubt bungie added them because of the maternity leave, but it’s gonna be really hard to show in a court of law.

“Not a team player” “Culture mismatch”

Not even, it’s just a case of “this role was one of many eliminated as part of a larger cost-cutting measure affecting 200 employees.”
