Coincidence?

Question

So people at my job found out I was pregnant around a week ago. Yesterday I was let go. They, of course, made a up a reason for it. A really ridiculous one but I’m pretty sure it’s because of the pregnancy. My boyfriend and I do not live together at this time so I’m the sole provider for myself and my other 3 children and I’m panicking 😭

Answer

If the excuse cannot be proven, you have grounds to sue for loss wages. And try for unemployment.

Answer

I would contact HR. Afterwards depending on what state you live in there is different options you can do as well.

Answer

What was their reason? Also did you tell them right away? Also, even though you two are not married, it's still his baby. So you are not alone. He NEEDS to provide for the baby also.

Answer

Call an employment lawyer for a free consult if you can find one! Employees have a lot more rights than you think depending on where you live and how long you’ve been working for them. Don’t sign anything if they ask you to. Also, if they’re jerks maybe it’s a blessing in disguise lol and start looking for another job with a bigger company. The more corporate it is, the more rules but the more protection too usually! Good luck girl, you got this!

Answer

I live in an at will state - meaning I can get fired at any time without any reason. So I had that same thought come across my mind when I told my boss I was pregnant, but thankfully he was very supportive. 
I guess if you don’t live in an at will state, was not given verbal or written warnings about your performance, then you might want to consider talking to an attorney.
