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

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

I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is exempt and I do not 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. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I've handled similar cases. 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 the FMLA years for this type of claim.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
