Your dilemma(进退两难) has two aspects:your employer demands loyalty,but you want to help another working woman.The question is whether you can act properly towards both.Your personal view about the unfair maternity policy makes it complicated.In the United States,paid maternity leave(带薪产假) is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government.Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours.
It’s understandable that you feel such divided loyalties,said Gretchen Zetoony,a licensed clinical expert in Virginia.“On the one hand,you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation;on the other hand,it’s natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation,particularly if you see the company’s policy as unfair,”she said.
Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package,remember to be careful with what you say.“If you are nervous that your employer could learn you had advised her,that should be a guide for you that you may wander into a questionable area,”Zetoony said.
What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits simply because of your advice.That may not be formal discrimination but it might create a bad feeling among colleagues who are not working mothers and who didn’t join your organization armed with insider tips.“In this case,the risk isn’t as much about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some personal characteristics,”Zetoony said.If that happens,and you find that your colleagues are whispering about you,or openly complaining,address the situation with a calm sit-down.Explain that you felt you had to help this woman pass her way through the organization’s human-resources maze,and that you would do the same for anyone who asked you for advice.
