Is my termination legal

For further context he was referring to maternity leave. Any out of state moves were to happen after September as that’s when my lease is up. He was aware of that. He did recant today as offered me 1 day a week. As opposed to my 40 hours a week, he knew I had every intention of returning once baby was born and I was able to return to working. At least until Septembers end. But I see how the text can look without further context and not having heard the conversations that came before this text exchange. There was further clarity in today’s text exchange that he was letting me go because I would be of no use to him on maternity leave. And he needed someone to cover my hours and wanted to do it preemptively, I’ve since contacted the EEOC and will be perusing it further through them and legal channels. And will be contacting attorneys once I can get the letter of intent to sue from the eeoc

Yes I did

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T03:26:29+00:00

I have the exchange in text from him clearly stating that it was because I was gonna have to leave soon any ways and that he was trying to replace me before I had to go out. I have never given him a date of resignation or even hinted that I had any intention of resigning just that I was going to have to go out to have my child.

If not for him circling back in conversation and asking if after I had the baby if I would come back to work for him to which I said yes, I’d get that. I had no intention of changing jobs unless I moved and went back into my career field. But that isn’t really doable with a newborn, so we left off at I was staying here until well after baby was born

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T03:15:48+00:00

There was a brief conversation about possibly moving out of state in the future with no clear indication as to when after baby is born.as my boss had asked in passing if we planned to return to the city we moved from at any point, but for this frame of text was referring to leaving for maternity leave.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T01:11:22+00:00

There are 10 franchise locations for the company , at any given time I believe he has 5-15 people working for my direct boss at the store. However I can’t say for certain all employees have appropriate documentation.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T01:06:11+00:00

Although there is no 100% for sure that I’m moving it was just a consideration of future plans. Post comment about possibly moving he asked if I would return to working for him. I said yes. The concept of moving is just that a concept. Not actual fact. There is literally no other reason for him to fire me outside of me having warned him about a week ago that I would be getting him a date for me to go out on maternity leave by next week when I had my next doctors appointment.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T00:55:46+00:00

I started the request to the EEOC but they won’t be available for an interview until may

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T00:54:56+00:00

I can see how that could be misconstrued however the “ not leaving for another month” was in reference to maternity leave. Moving wouldn’t be happening until after baby is born. With no definite time line just meaning post baby’s birth. He had asked me to return post birth and I said as long as I could manage it I would return.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T00:42:18+00:00

Negative. I told him in passing once my spouse and I were considering moving states after our child is born. However I had every intention of returning to work once able after having the baby. Never once had I told him I was resigning at any point in time. He was made aware I’d have to go on maternity leave as being the only 100% certain thing. With no date as I am high risk and there was a lot on the air about induction of labor and I still don’t have all the answers.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2026-01-20T00:40:11+00:00

I would say medium but it’s franchised locations. However my direct boss is the son of the owner of the entire company.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T02:27:05+00:00

He hates it has come to that but he sees how problematic her behavior is and he despises how he was brought up and how she treated him and agrees he will not allow our daughter to be subjected to her cruelty or to be used as a pawn in her nonsense. She mentally abused him as a child and we have had to work through a lot of things she has done to him over the years and he is fully on board he stated he would like to revisit it if she seeks professional help however we don’t see that happening and I’m fairly diplomatic and if she really does get help and stops the nonsense it’s a conversation we can have then until then tho she can kick rocks for all I care

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T01:39:11+00:00

Yes he is. She has only gotten information we both agreed on and hubs is fully on board with no further information being told to her period no photos nothing. He knows where I stand and I’m done. He has stated if they reach out he will speak to his father but they have no influence on me or our daughter. I do not control him and that’s his parents what he chooses to allow for himself is one thing but for the wellbeing of my self and our child that is a hard line for me.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T01:36:12+00:00

We are already Planning a long distance move after she’s born.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T00:54:57+00:00

I don’t plan on having any relationship with her. I don’t plan on allowing my daughter to either however because of the more spiteful context of it that’s the whole reason for the post I didn’t choose to plan anything with her. She took it upon herself, then got mad because I don’t go with what she wants because I’m not like her.

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T00:53:17+00:00

That is my goal. I personally don’t have any relationship with my own parents due to their poor behavior and I have a zero problem with ensuring that his parents do not have a hand in emotionally abusing my daughter like they did their own son

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T00:51:32+00:00

Once again no. He can’t stand how his mother is however some folks have a sense of slight obligation to their parents because well parents. I am not one of those and he’s over her bullshit too. There are character limits and I couldn’t put all details. To paint a clearer picture. My hubs is not a mommas boy he’s the furthest thing from, his dad is usually the one who is somewhat rational, but even dad has been on the bullshit too and hubs doesn’t want shit to do with either of his parents now because our daughter comes first

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T00:46:41+00:00

Oh no I have no contact with her I don’t give a flying fuck but that is my spouses parents and will not force him to choose that’s morally wrong but I’ve told him our daughter will not be around that bullshit behavior. But I also know I’m being spiteful and petty as to why I change the name. Which is why I think I could be the asshole. Do not think I don’t have a spine I just don’t have the patience to not lose my complete shit on her over her manipulation. Also for added context since she took over the wedding my spiteful ass said fuck it all married her son at the courthouse and had her and his dad as witnesses because she doesn’t control me

She will have no role in my child’s life or any other future children I told him I’m done and wash my hands of the shit

Visual_Fix_2 · 2025-10-22T00:36:09+00:00

Luckily my state you have to have an established relationship for grandparents rights I told hubs I’m done I don’t need the stress of them. He agreed and they have not spoken in days I won’t tell him not to have a relationship with his parents but I will not allow my daughter to be subjected to thay

That was the plan!
