[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]

[b]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[/b][/quote]

This x1000.

OP may not be aware of it, but her personal file could contain memos her boss/supervisor sent to HR each time OP came in late or left early or each little mistake made.

I work in HR and when we're making a good case to get rid of someone we feel may be upset, everything is documented, but only official written warnings/statements are given to the employee in question.  For example, we were able to fire a pregnant woman and win the case because her boss had clear, concise proof of her performance decline.  Each little mistake made was sent to HR to be added to her file.  Emails from her boss to her co-worker that said "Mary is going to be in 2 hours late today.  Please do XYZ before the 10 AM deadline for her." to show proof of the burden being thrust on others to cover her job duties.  We knew that a a claim and lawsuit would probably coming from her when laid off and it did.  EEOC sided with us and then she had no legal grounds.  [/quote]
