Today, my boss told me that I'm being terminated. Apparently, being pregnant means I was going to quit soon anyway, so there's no point. Now I have to get job so I don't get deported. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant, after quitting my job because they asked us to work for free due to COVID. So because I quit, I'm no longer eligible for maternity leave. I didn’t know that I was 4 months pregnant. I could've just gotten a doctor's note for medical reasons. FML
Today, my boss fired me because he found out I'm dating his daughter. Now I'm concerned what he might do if he finds out she's pregnant with my child. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, I found out that, despite working 4 part-time jobs, that I will not qualify for maternity leave by my due date with the mandatory 600 hours. I can't get full-time work and I'm 8 months pregnant now. This'll be fun! FML
Today, after quitting my job to take a very attractive position with a competitor, I was told the position was no longer being offered. I'm now on my way to file for unemployment. FML
Today, my work is doing a legal investigation about whether they can avoid paying me maternity benefit. According to my sleazy boss, "You notified us too late." FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, at work my boss told me I have been late, under-productive, and using up a lot of sick days. He says my job is on the line. My reason for barely showing up at work: I've been on maternity leave for 6 weeks. FML
Today, I was terminated from my job because my boss “felt like it.” My parents have made it clear to me that if I am ever fired from a job, for any reason, they will kick me out on the street and never speak to me again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Contact the EEOC, they deal with that sort of stuff.

I hope your boss was stupid enough to put it in writing that you were being terminated for being pregnant (or you recorded him saying it.) On the plus side, you will almost certainly get deported to a country that can handle the covid break-out.

Why would you get deported for not having a job? Are you here on a work visa?

That is discrimination and illegal. If you can get yourself a lawyer that's definitely a case you would win.

IF he said he's firing you because you are pregnant, you have a case. Depending on what state you are in, if you didn't get it on record, it'd be a tough one to win.

Not really. All they have to do is ask the boss why they fired her and he will either tell her the truth or make up some bullshit excuse, and all they have to do is reference her work to see if she was actually a good or bad worker. Things like this happen all the time unfortunately

A company can’t just fire you because you’re pregnant. That’s discrimination. Take them to court. You can either fight for your job back or force them to pay you for wrongful termination.

You can’t fire someone for being pregnant, not only is that wrongful termination but it’s also classified as discrimination. Especially if the boss knows that you would be deported without a job. I would lawyer up if I were you.
