‘They fired me without even telling me’: Woman gets fired while on maternity leave, finds out about it from coworker who has been informed she quit

It can be alarming to think that some employers have no issue with firing employees while they are on maternity leave. Even though most countries have laws against exactly that, unfortunately, it still happens to a lot of employees.

Which is exactly what happened to the woman in this Reddit story (OP, original poster). A few months after going on maternity leave, she contacts her boss to talk about her return to her job, with accommodation to her now being a new mother. Her boss probably didn't love the fact that the company had to make the changes, and even though she promised OP that she would be fine, that wasn't the case. A few weeks before her plan to come back, OP is visited by a coworker who tells her the boss informed the office that OP quit, with no call whatsoever to OP to let her know about the decision.
