Work has really messed up

[sleepytoday]

I'm in quite a senior role and work has really messed up. Long story short they've discriminated against me (I am newly on maternity leave), and have lost out on an opportunity because they mis managed something and I couldn't then take it up as I was on maternity leave. Work are really apologetic and I am talking to the department head. The issue relates to the fact that he future of my role is uncertain and I missed out on another opportunity . Two questions - how far would you push it - it's had a huge impact on my may leave but I want to stay at the company. Second, it's my bosses boss who messed up. I know him but not well and I feel really aggrieved at him - and haven't had an explanation (or any discussion with him). I don't think it's maliciousness just stupidity and poor organisation, but I feel like I need to speak to him before I agree anything as I need to understand how this happened if he will be in my management line going forward.

Have you been out at risk of redundancy formally? It’s not clear.

*put

What do you stand to gain (for sure & maybe) if you formally complain or don't complain?

What do you stand to lose (if you do or don't complain)?

Write it all out in separate lists, compare & contrast. Too difficult for us to tell.

Can you explain what happened? Very difficult to comment otherwise.

I am just wondering if you think you are entitled to preferential treatment because you are on mat leave, which is not the case, you are only entitled to not be discriminated against. But without actually telling the story it is impossible to know.

They would potentially be entitled to preferential treatment in a redundancy situation. It’s not clear from the OP if it is though.
