Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · What To Do If You Get Laid Off: Employment Attorney Ryan Stygar on Keyboard Tracking, Return to Office and Negotiating Severance · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

What is the broader narrative here?

You're telling me that Nicole was fired for poor performance.

I don't see a single bad performance review.

I see her telling you she's pregnant and three weeks later suddenly she's written up for quote-unquote poor communication.

A little vague, don't you think?

I don't need a confession.

But with a good paper trail, we can stitch together the narrative of what really happened and we can still assert your rights.

I love this question because this is controversial advice and there are going to be people who hear this advice and get very angry with me.

It always happens.

But I am coming from a place of love and I am trying to help and I am a professional who knows what he is talking about.

Do not hide your pregnancy.

A lot of people want to keep it private, especially in that first trimester.

They might want to tell their friends and they say, I don't want my boss to know why I've got this promotion coming up.

I've got this going on and I don't want that to get messed up.

You're going to start showing eventually or someone is going to hear it through the grapevine.

I would much rather you protect yourself and establish your protected class as early as possible.

That way, if they do something, they suddenly deny that promotion you had coming that you had totally earned.

They lay you off, whatever it is.

At least we can show that they knew you were pregnant because the law, those discrimination laws, they don't protect you unless the employer knew or had reasonable notice, like reasonably should have known that you were pregnant.

So if you're not showing and then the manager kind of catches wind of it and decides they're going to pull back on something, you don't have a paper trail protecting yourself.
