I worked for Bayer for over 8 years. Although company policy was to have employees at 90% or more of their range mid-points, I NEVER got close to the top of the bottom quartile. In fact, HR had to increase my recommended raise to keep me from dropping out of the range entirely! At the same time, a male counterpart had to have his raise decreased to keep him from going over the range, despite our both having a MS and over 25 years experience. I was given more responsibilities than my male predecessor in another position with less pay & worse working conditions.
I elected take the extra severance and be among the first to be laid off when their West Haven facility began shutting down because I knew I’d be at the top of the crop list anyway. BTW, I have no children, so it isn’t just mothers, it’s all women. I think they just use maternity leave & family as excuses. The only surprise about this suit is that it took so long!
