If I were to report it, it would be to the head of HR and there is a no retaliation policy in place, so if I were fired for reporting my concerns I could sue.
I've been with this company for a long time and have the respect of my peers, so I know if I reported this it would be taken seriously and treated confidentially and my job would be in no danger.
You could sue... but you won't win. There is a term called "at-will" employment. Believe me... if they wanted to can you... they wouldn't do it on the spot there. They would just wait it out a few months and can you for another reason.
But hey... if you still feel that this needs to be said... go ahead. I wouldn't if it were me and I valued my job.

Not sure how much you know about "at will". At will means we can fire you at any time - it doesn't exempt you from having to pay a huge settlement. There isn't a chance she'd lose this one if she's had great reviews, etc and documents her conversations before taking action.

If a company really wanted to get rid of some one... believe me they will go as far as seeking legal council BEFORE they fire the person to make sure a lawsuit would not hold in court.
But hey... if you want to play with fire... go ahead.
