Rachel Ressler, a former CFO at Real, has filed a lawsuit alleging gender and pregnancy discrimination after she experienced workplace retaliation following the announcement of her pregnancy. Ressler claims she was marginalized at work, stripped of responsibilities, and pressured to work during her maternity leave. Following her leave, she was terminated under disputed claims related to personal expenses on a corporate card. The lawsuit highlights broader issues of gender biases in senior leadership, particularly how women are perceived when balancing career and motherhood.
"It's infuriating that, in 2025, men in leadership still seem to believe that women cannot be effective executives if they have a baby at home."
