OKAY. So I heard my boss (VP) telling his peer that he is letting go off a female employee because she is pregnant and her absence affects the project delivery.
How do I handle this? Should I speak to HR? If so my boss will know I snitched on him.
HELP!

As much as I want to say throw that VP under the bus, I’d recommend you proceed with caution. Do you have any proof to corroborate? You should look into HR policies for anonymity if that exists. A lot of companies have protections for employees these days

OP also has the option of going to the pregnant colleague, if OP trusts her to never reveal OP’s involvement. Colleague could then see a labor attorney asap so she can fortress herself.

Oh my god. He said it that clearly? Does your company have an ombuds/ anybody you can go to anonymously for advice on navigating? Are you sure nobody else heard/ your boss knows you heard?

Report it and leave

That is one of my worst nightmares! Definitely report it if there is a way to do so without endangering your own job (because your company sounds unethical if this is more than an isolated incident).

If you report it and the pregnant employee is let go, they will know that it was a premeditated unethical fire. HR or compliance team should be able to handle it.

that seems...oof that's bad. Agree with above, were you the only one around that heard it?

I really felt sorry for the employee. It would be very correct to inform about such a situation.
