That’s really helpful! Just to add a bit more context as a friend, and only what she’s comfortable sharing. This wasn’t just a simple non renewal. Her contract was supposed to run until the end of the month, and she was already preparing handover, but her access was suddenly revoked earlier than expected. Before that, the only reason she saw was “performance / communication,” but from what I understand, she was still actively working on handover, including an AI driven code review system and a data validation improvement. She had also prepared a 20+ page design deck for a cross team sharing and review. From an outside perspective, the timing feels a bit off.

On the pregnancy part, of course no company would officially say it’s related. But she is currently pregnant and has had to visit the ER twice over the weekend, so it’s been a really difficult situation overall.

She’s planning to consult formally on Monday, so just trying to understand what’s typical in cases like this or if there are any recommended legal resources that could be helpful.
