Female Engineer Faces Job Rejection Due to Pregnancy Concerns

A Nigerian female Engineer expressed her disappointment after being turned down for a job by a female Managing Director. 

 

As per @StephanieTagbo, she was rejected for the job because the female Managing Director did not want someone getting pregnant in the middle of a project. 

 

She tweeted; 

 

So, I was supposed to go for an interview today for a project management role. But they canceled because the MD (a woman) found out I’m a lady. Reasons: she wants a male, doesn’t want a woman getting pregnant amidst the job. 

It must be really hard being a woman
