“Did not pursue legal action”

Manager gave me a false performance review while I was on maternity leave, costing me my bonus

What I wish I knew
"The company's behavior was illegal and I had a strong case"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let fear hold you back from standing up for your rights"
