Quick background on my situation in Georgia — any input appreciated.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.

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

What trips people up most is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead....

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Every situation is different so YMMV fr fr.

Dealt with this exact thing last year.

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
