Google Ends Lawsuit with Engineer Fired Over Pregnancy Loss

Google and a former software engineer have agreed to end their lawsuit over allegations that she was wrongfully fired after taking time off following an unexpected pregnancy loss. The suit, which has been ongoing since 2020, claimed that Google's firing of the engineer was discriminatory and retaliatory.

The agreement brings an end to a long-standing dispute between Google and the engineer, who had alleged that the company failed to provide adequate support for employees dealing with pregnancy complications. According to court documents, the engineer took time off after experiencing a miscarriage in 2019 but was subsequently let go by Google.

The lawsuit alleged that Google's actions were discriminatory and retaliatory, citing instances of the company's treatment of other employees who had experienced similar situations. However, details of the agreement reached between the parties have not been disclosed.
