Getting fired is something that happens to the best of us. Restructuring could really be the reason, fresh labor is cheaper, and it does not sound like you have much evidence or reason to prove otherwise.
Without more to go on, I suggest you move on and don’t prolong the grief. And equally importantly, waste time in getting a new job.

- aaomidi 4y agoSeconded.
- jstarfish 4y ago> and it does not sound like you have much evidence or reason to prove otherwise Even without filing the paperwork, being [visibly] almost nine months pregnant is evidence enough to make a scene. There's a reason everybody conspicuously squawks about their disabilities and sexual orientation these days-- it makes them a walking EEOC complaint. Pregnancy counts. OP needs to see an employment attorney ASAP.

- anon3333333333 4y agoGet a new job right before giving birth? I'm sure that will go well for everyone. Yeah, cost savings, it's great! Gotta get that 0.3% bottom line improvement. Doesn't matter how much of someone's life they put into the company.
- phoronixrly 4y agoYeah, the 'just give up' part was annoying enough, but the 'get a job' ending took it over the top...
- bawolff 4y agoI imagine that the poster is also american... like in most countries you probably don't want to miss out on the 84 weeks (in canada) of paid leave
- bawolff 4y agoIs this an americans don't have rights thing? I feel that in most countries this situation is so illegal that you basically wouldn't be able to ask for a more slam dunk case.
