Hi Team, My wife has been working in a well-reputed MNC in India for more than eight months now, where she worked on one project during the initial 5.5 months, and she had 6 months of probation. But unfortunately, her probation approval has gone to the new manager, who extended her probation by months (Put her on PIP), stating "she can not judge her performance in 20 days and she is not able to reach out to her previous reporting manager because he is out of office".
During her extended probation, we got to know about her pregnancy, and the doctor recommended avoiding travelling during the initial phase because of her previous miscarriage history (my wife travels from Mumbai to Pune for three days a week for work). So, to avoid medical challenges, she informed her manager and HR and requested one month of work from home, which was approved.
Now, even after completing her extended probation, their manager is reluctant to provide her with the confirmation, extend her PIP by another month, and receive mail that she will get terminated if they do not find any improvement. During feedback, the kind of points raised were "I had asked you to ask queries and questions to me, and you went and asked questions to other teammates" This is what she was informed on call and in the letter they mentioned, " lack of initiative in asking questions and queries" and others points are also of similar manner.
During her PIP period, her previous manager dropped an email stating " He is happy with her performance during probation and Inform that we should go ahead with her confirmation" but they still not ready to provide her the confirmation. (They official did not inform my wife that her previous manager has send approval for confirmation, my wife repeatedly asked to have discussion but manager is tell she will talk to him one on one and not when my wife is on call).
Even her manager informed her that she didn't receive positive feedback from her reviewer, where she received positive feedback from the reviewer when she had one on one call with them and they were ready to come forward and say the same in a meeting, but the manager is not ready to take call with her and reviewer being on a call simultaneously. Even after multiple requests, her manager is not taking that call.
In short, her manager is not ready to take calls with people who can share positive feedback, i.e. her previous manager and her current project's 2 reviewers.
Also, when my wife requested WFH here, HR suggested that she should resign, and also, during the feedback discussion, her manager told her that she should think of leaving the organisation.
Note: There was no escalation over the call or on an email from a client or from teammates, except for the PIP letter, which she received.
I would like to understand how we can take this further and if they may fire my wife when she is pregnant in the name of performance.
