Federal Group makes marketing exec redundant while on maternity leave
Danika Porter
Tasmania’s largest hospitality and casino operator, Federal Group, has parted ways with senior marketing leader Danika Porter, making her redundant while on maternity leave after four and a half years with the business.
Porter, who led brand and marketing across the group’s luxury hotel portfolio — including MACq 01 and The Henry Jones Art Hotel — announced her departure on Linkedin, citing a “new agency partnership and restructured leadership” as the reason for her role being made redundant.
Writing on Linkedin, Porter said the move meant she “will not be returning from maternity leave.”
This also happened to me (different organisation). And three other women I know. Regulation needs to change to protect women.
Is that not illegal? Being the lead in marketing seems like a difficult position to make redundant… is there not going to be a lead in marketing? Hmmm.
Tough going. Should’ve joined the public service.
Just trying to mention that another well known Tassie boot brand made their head of marketing redundant while on mat leave a year ago. Tassie needs to do better.
