The Tenth Circuit Court’s decision in Fassbender v. Correct Care Sols., LLC, reminds employers of the importance of weighing termination decisions with care.  In Fassbender, an employer’s decision to terminate a pregnant employee was determined to be a pretext for discrimination, due in part to the employer’s inconsistent reasoning for the termination.
