A story about the absence of paid maternal leave in the Washington Post

This pregnant Mom had two jobs (or tried to) that did not provide any paid maternal leave: one with Maximhealthcare, the other with Uber. It looks like she started working for "Maxim" in 2010, making about $20K per year but without any benefits. I wonder what are Maxim's profits, how much they made during all those years they did not provide any benefits to workers very probably misclassified as temporary.
