A woman in her mid-20s sat through an hour-long marketing interview at a non-profit. Things seemed fine - until the interviewer asked whether she was planning to get pregnant. The interviewer then mentioned that previous employees had left after maternity leave and added, We reward people who stick around for the long haul. The candidate withdrew her application on the spot and asked Reddit whether she could report the incident to the EEOC. Commenters urged her to do exactly that.
