Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

Yeah licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have OSHA regulations years for this type of claim.

An attorney could probably resolve this with one letter tbh.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle haha.

This is depressingly common.

I ended up filing with teh appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
