[quote=Anonymous]This is definitely not subtle discrimination...definitely document everything. Dates, times, who was in the meeting. Many phones have a sound recorder- try to start recording any future conversations going forward discretely (if you are in DC or Virginia it's one party consent- so only you have to approve of recording conversations that involve you). Contact a lawyer OR reach out to EEOC. Below is information on how to start a claim. First step is meeting with them to discuss what's happened.

So sorry this is happening to you. These kinds of situations are so stressful. I had a promotion suddenly evaporate days after I told my manager about my pregnancy due to "performance issues for the past 4 months" despite discussing the promotion the week before with her and everything being fine. It was totally ridiculous. Luckily I was able to successfully transfer within my company to a higher position working with a more understanding and family friendly team.

Did you give your boss permission to disclose your pregnancy? Medical issues are supposed to be confidential.... Anyways this sucks and I'm so sorry. Reach out to the EEOC and just try to ride it out at work for now.
