After seven years of service to her job, Plaintiff Jena McClellan announced to her employer that she was pregnant. About three months later, she was bullied into signing a severance agreement.
On the day of her termination, the company’s president called her into his office, closed the door behind her, and presented her with an agreement. He said that she “needed to sign then if [she] wanted any severance.”
