I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

pregnant employee pushed to resign. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation imo.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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

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.
