[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contact a lawyer.  Do it sooner rather than later, OP. You have a great case [/quote]

You literally know like 4 sentences of her case. Get a grip. She wasn't a good employee, and it was reflected in her reviews. [/quote]

She worked there for 10 years.  She got a bad review the 1 year she took maternity leave.  And sounds like she got laid off because she was pregnant.  Sounds like a great case to me too.  [/quote]

Not really. If they can prove her performance dropped after having a kid then she is SOL. This is why men make more than women. They don't have to deal with this issue, fair or not[/quote]

+1.  I am an employment (defense) lawyer and I have had many of these cases at the administrative level where the EEOC finds no probable cause to believe there was discrimination.  She was average all along and there is a decent chance her performance slipped after having a kid.  It is rare for this not to happen at least for a little while.  A lot of us have years of superior performance prior to kids and that saves us when performance slips but when an average employee becomes below average, getting canned can well be legitimate.  Be honest with yourself, OP.  Has your performance declined.  I also think, as others have said, it is important to know how common average performance reviews are at your place of employment.

Keep in mind, if you are determined to pursue this, you need to file an administrative charge with the EEOC or state agency first.[/quote]
