Question

morgan, an engineer, is about six months pregnant. since announcing her pregnancy, she has not been given any long - term, cutting - edge projects; rather she has been given short - term assignments that dont a full use of her skills or allow her to learn or grow as an employee. her manager, carlos, says he believes short - term is better due to her starting a family. this situation demonstrates
multiple choice
discrimination in violation of the pregnancy discrimination act.
effective diversity management.
the inevitable trade - offs that working mothers face.
necessary prioritization of business goals over employee needs.
fair distribution of the workload.

Explanation:

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prohibits employment discrimination based on pregnancy. Morgan's manager is treating her differently (not giving her long - term, cutting - edge projects) because of her pregnancy. This is a form of discrimination.

• Effective diversity management would involve including and supporting diverse employees like pregnant women, which is not the case here.
• The situation is not about working mothers' trade - offs (she is pregnant, not yet a mother in the workforce context).
• There is no indication that business goals are being prioritized over employee needs in a legitimate way; it's discriminatory.
• The workload distribution is not fair as it is based on pregnancy discrimination.

Answer:

discrimination in violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
