Getting laid off while still on maternity leave due to team relocation.
Based in Santa Clara, California. While I was on maternity leave, all my team members left the company. The company headquarters are based in Texas. In the meantime, they hired consultants (also based in California). I recently received a call from upper management informing me that they will be laying me off because they are relocating the 'team' to Texas (which is me + consultants). I'm still 2 months away from coming back to work. Do I have any rights?

Hello. If the is a true lay-off and office transfer to a different location and there is no evidence that this is an excuse to get rid of you because of your leave, then this would not be illegal so no claim can be made.
