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 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably Title VII, which requires showing discriminatory.

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

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
