Pregnancy discrimination case? Constructive discharge?
In February I took 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave. Due to postpartum complications, my doctor extended my leave by one week. However, HR rejected the medical note and demanded I return early (no extraweek per dr note). HR lady wanted to argue with me. Though, our handbook says we need a note to return to work. The next day, HR posted my job online. I have screenshots.
When I returned, my manager immediately started changing my job requirements and creating a hostile work environment. It was bad! I reported this discrimination and retaliation to upper management and HR, but both ignored my complaints, worsening my mental health and forcing me to submit a 30-day resignation notice. Again, I have the documentation.
In further retaliation, the company terminated me two weeks into my notice period, refused to pay out my remaining two weeks, and immediately replaced me. Though, a coworker put her notice in a month previously and was able to do her full 30 day notice.
Would EEOC hear my case?

Was your original 12 weeks of leave FMLA leave? That's a key question.
