IMHO get lawyer counseling and get fair advantage of whatever your contry laws allow you.
Companies also adjust to their most favorable side of the law every day without any moral concerns.
My 2 cents worth... after getting sacked by some random multi-billion dollar corporation that filed +1,5$ bil. profit last year, because I lost my class I medical and not recovered in 6 weeks of UNPAID leave.
(I offered to do office work meanwhile, which they rejected, so I requested unpaid leave to go back home).
And of course congratulations for the baby!
411A I'm surprised to hear an American make an statement like that. I wonder what would happen if a Chief Pilot of a company within the USA writes "1 kid ok, 2 kids go find another career" in an e-mail to a female employee. Maybe a few lawyers are keen on taking a look at it.
Just wondering...
