(8,254 posts)I've been in the same situation and it was devastating. I wish that someone had given me the advice above.
Mine was a case of Christians taking over a department, getting rid of those they didn't approve of, and replacing them with folks from a Christian staffing company, owned by the new department manager!
I filed an EEOC claim. As soon as you do that, HR AND legal departments go into a frenzy, hunting for every possible piece of evidence to besmirch your character and performance. I lost the ability to file for unemployment, lost the case, lost an almost vested retirement, and could never use that experience on my resume again.
Bite the bullet. I happens to a lot of people. But fighting it may just make her a bigger target for corporate abuse.
Hugs to your daughter. It is very painful to go through this.
