Do I Have a Workplace Discrimination Case?
Not sure if you have a workplace discrimination or retaliation case?
Learn the key signs, real examples, and how the EEOC process works. Submit your case for review.
Signs You May Have A Case
You were treated differently because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin
You were disciplined, demoted, or fired after speaking up or filing a complaint
You experienced repeated harassment or a hostile work environment
Your employer ignored complaints or failed to take action
You were denied reasonable accommodations
You noticed a pattern of unfair treatment compared to others
Not every workplace issue becomes a legal claim but many valid cases are missed early.
The difference isn’t just what happened.
It’s how the situation connects to protected categories and how it can be proven.
If any of these apply, there’s a strong chance your situation deserves a closer look.
What Does Not Qualify
Not all workplace issues are illegal. Situations that typically do not qualify include:
General unfairness or favoritism
Personality conflicts with a manager
A single rude or inappropriate comment (without a pattern)
Being a “bad fit” for the role
The difference comes down to whether the treatment was tied to a protected category or protected activity.
Real-World Examples
You report discrimination to HR. Shortly after, you are written up or placed on a performance plan. This may be retaliation.
Two employees make the same mistake. Only one is disciplined—and that employee belongs to a protected group. This may be discrimination.
A supervisor repeatedly makes offensive or inappropriate comments despite complaints. This may be harassment.
You are denied promotion despite strong performance, and the position goes to someone less qualified. This may be discriminatory treatment.
Self-Assessment
Did this happen because of who I am (race, gender, age, etc.)?
Did this happen after I complained or spoke up?
Is there a pattern, or has this happened more than once?
Are others treated differently in similar situations?
Do I have emails, messages, or witnesses?
If you answered yes to any of these, it may be worth having your case reviewed.
