 | A lady who refuses to be named worked as a senior designer in a big corporation headquartered in Shanghai. After she got pregnant, she received a new contract from the personnel department. The new contract stated that the lady would be transferred to the logistics department. Her new duty in the company was to clean all the lavatories and closetools. However, the salary remains the same as that of working as a senior designer. The company would still pay her 9,000RMB. The reason for the transfer of job is that she got pregnant. The woman got very angry when he received the new contract from the personnel department. She joked: if I signed this contract, I would become the most expensive cleaner. This question generates a hot debate in Shanghai. Many people denounced the employer of the corporation. The employers humiliated a pregnant lady under the guise of “offering a high salary”? Should a pregnant lady be transferred to clean the closestools? What do you think of this issue? |

| If this happened in America, she would own a part of the corporation. Danny |

| This sort of slap in the face still happens in the US and probably the rest of the world, however never so openly. Danny is correct...such things must be concealed and direct connections broken to avoid lawsuits. |

| This simply would not be possible in Finland or in some other Nordic country. "What do you think of a pregnant lady to be a cleaner?" Cleaners do get pregnant, too. Carlos |

| Carlos, Yes, cleaners do get pregnant. Here, the author's question is: should a woman be transfered to clean the closestool after being pregnant? You mean in Nordic countries there are few corruptions? |

| There are many international studies that prove that Nordic countries have least corruption in the world. Usually Finland is on top of the list. Here we have very strong laws to protect workers. Also we have very strong unions for workers, which would not hesitate to act if something like that happened. In that kind of matters the unions can easily put any company on its knees. And, to answer the question: No, should not and should not even to be allowed. Carlos |

| Demoting a woman just because she got pregnant is just plain wrong. There’s no room for debate there. This just proves that there is still a long fight ahead for women to be treated better. Do nothing and this will just keep on happening again and again everywhere in the world. Ok, I’ll step out for a while to cool myself down. O_o |

| Gender discrimination is still a severe problem. The self-serving employers attempted to demote a conscientious female employee through using a rhetoric. The administrative structure should enforce a strict regulation on labor contract. Lax enforcement will lead to the abuse of power and regulation. |

| I have a management position and get good salary. Sometimes we may be short staffed or busy so I will do some cleaning and hoovering. I get paid the same whatever I do so dont mind. Same money for less stress.... what a result |

| I have ever participated in a debate on the topic " Women, family or career?". The topic is very debatable. There is a conflict between family and career for women. If we want to succeed in career, we have to sacrifice some time in staying with kids and family. For women, success in career is more difficult than the male counterparts. |
