I do not believe a word of your post.  No company would engage in such egregious behavior and leave themselves wide open for a lawsuit and a huge settement.  Instead, it sounds as though you are either a troll or trying out your concocted story to sue your employer.[/quote]

That is an odd thing to say. People do dumb (and illegal) things all the time. People who work for companies do dumb (and illegal) things all the time. If you live somewhere where everybody always follows all of the laws and never does anything dumb, please tell me where that is -- I might want to move there.[/quote]

Not the PP you were addressing but this is not a case where you have one individual making flagrantly discriminatory remarks but there are three individuals who OP says did so. Count me among those who question OP's version of the events.

Discriminatory lawsuits are immensely stressful and unless OP really has excellent grounds for such a suit and the evidence to support it, she may wish to follow the advice of the PP attorney and just move on to another job. For example, has there been a trend with her employer where pregnant employees are discriminated against? If she is the only one - or the first one - she better have something more than a "he said, she said" allegation.

Even if she has strong grounds she is going to go  through a lot of stress pursuing such a suit. I say this as someone who has witnessed employees suing a company for discrimination. In larger companies, we'd just outsource the lawsuit to outside counsel and the involvement of those being sued would be limited to a couple of meetings with the attorney and, perhaps, being deposed. It never went much further than this in most instances. If we were vulnerable, we'd likely settle for the complainant's attorney's fees and that was the end of it.[/quote]
