Kate Winick says she faced rejection from many jobs after disclosing her pregnancy.
  • Kate Winick, a former Peloton director, faced job rejections after disclosing her pregnancy.
  • When she told prospective employers about her pregnancy, she said they didn't invite her to final interviews.
  • "I was incredibly naive to think that in 2024, it was finally possible to become a mom without taking a hit to your career."

Kate Winick was five months pregnant and "terrified" when she was laid off from her job at Peloton, she said in a recent LinkedIn post.

She spent the next three months applying for jobs. However, after disclosing her pregnancy to potential employers, she found that they all declined to bring her in for a final interview.
