    can he even legally do that with you being pg and all?

    There are laws here where your employemnt can't be terminated or compromised once they know you're pg...

    Yes, her employer can fire her at will, assuming she is in an at-will state.  Although, with the comments he has made, she may be able to get a lawyer.

    I would certainly be looking into legal action!

    You can still be laid off or fired when you are pregnant...just not for being pregnant. 

    Pregnacy doesnt get you out of everything.

    It's nice that he said laid off and not fired... that will help with unemployment checks!

    certainly - perhaps look at what your record of employment has stated as the reason for the layoff?

    Proving discrimination in the workplace is very difficult because it is a lot of he said/she said.

    It would not even be worth it to go thru all the trouble of a he said she said case and besides.  Even tho he is a complete mess I totally love his family and would never put them thru that.  He is laying me off because he is a greedy bastard and "does not have enough money to pay me".  So whatever I'll collect unemployment and SAH for a while.  We are in the middle of planning a move back to TX in April anyways so it's just 6 weeks of paychecks I'm losing. So break out the sparkling grape juice lets celebrate!:)
