Hi Laura Burpo I am so sorry that happened!! I am also very upset to hear this and shocked/angry I believe that is 100% illegal to fire you based on taking a moment to get something ANY woman would need. You can read [this article] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/ga-woman-said-she-was-fired-for-leaking-during-her-period-at-work-the-aclu-is-suing-for-discrimination/2017/09/08/50fab924-8d97-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2cc87bf212a8) about a woman who faced a very similar situation as you. Find comfort and strength in it. No matter what you did NOT deserve what happened. My thoughts are with you. The important thing now is to move forward. You could consider speaking to a lawyer, but you also need to begin applying for new jobs and taking care of yourself! Please feel free to send me a private message if I can help!! You are strong and you WILL get through this.
