I currently work full time for a very large house builder. It's a male industry and I'm the only female in my job however I feel like I'm treated so differently it's getting me down!
I have worked here for 14 months and since I have started took on my own site which was going well, then Yesterday I was told I now have 3 more sites for me to progress.
I have had no pay rise at all however took on so much more work. Also for the past year I have had to drive my senior around due to him getting a driving ban, this has held me back as I couldn't concentrate on my own site so couldn't progress as it meant I was out of the office a lot. He has now got his licence back and has handed his notice in for a much higher paid position. I added so much extra miles, wear and tear and petrol to my car yet received no extra money.
Now I'm 15 weeks pregnant, I havnt officially told them but my manager had guessed and asked me while we were on our Christmas do but I didn't answer him!
Now I'm the only person that hasn't had a promotion or payrise nor have I had a development review even though this happens for everyone every 6 months.
I was pregnant earlier this year however delivered the baby at 21 weeks which hit me hard and I was off for 2 months however felt like I was forced back!
I just feel like they treat me so different. Iv expressed my concerns and I just get fobbed off!
Sorry for the long post I just don't know where to turn! I know I am paid well under what the standard is for my position, probably about 6k plus car allowance under!
