Show Notes

She disclosed her pregnancy after twelve weeks, with a prepared maternity leave plan. Four days later, a performance improvement plan arrived — citing concerns never mentioned in three years of annual reviews. When she later requested the document through her attorney, the file date was Monday. The same day she told HR. This episode covers the full arc: the internal complaint, the HR investigation, the EEOC filing, the 14-month process, the managed exit, and the confidential settlement before trial — and what the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 does and doesn't protect against in practice. The Trials of Women — available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you listen.
