    Font - Pleaseleavemealone07 +1 - 1 day ago Gotta prove she was fired for being pregnant, which would be near impossible. Now proving retaliation...that would be easy as pie in this case. Circumstantial evidence alone is strong.

    Font - They fired her, with the reason being that she hadn't met quota one quarter. Which just happened to be the quarter that she'd been on maternity leave. Eventually she was given back pay and offered her job back, but she'd already found work elsewhere that paid more and had better benefits.

    Font - If they found it necessary to have a multi-page documents of terms, conditions, exclusions, etc. then it's not something simple enough you can sign without reading.

    Font - HistoricalPapaya7070 1 day ago Not doing extra shifts will always get you fired if you work in the scam called American healthcare. Pregnancy isn't the issue, you not working extra for them is the issue.

    Font - Healthcare workers have been getting fired like this for decades if they cut back hours or no longer work extra shifts. This isn't about your pregnancy, it's about predatory American healthcare practices.

    Font - lovetocook966 20 hr. ago Nursing homes are one of the worst health scams out there. They will not staff according to the needs of the clients or staff. One of the worst things is people are put into these institutions all the time... I think maybe jail would be more kind or caring.
