Examples of Retaliation in the Workplace 

Retaliation can happen in many ways. The one thing that every case of retaliation has in common is the fact that an employee rightfully brought forward a complaint about harassment or discrimination. If you do this, your boss is not allowed to retaliate or punish you for bringing a claim. It is within your right to do so. A common form of retaliation is getting fired. If you brought forward a complaint within your right to HR or a supervisor, for example, a coworker was making racially insensitive comments to you, then your employer lets you go, that’s retaliation. Or if you tell your boss that you are uncomfortable with things he says and does and you feel like you are being sexually harassed by him and he then fires you, that is considered retaliation as well. Let’s say that you are being discriminated against based on your religious beliefs. Someone in your management tells you to remove your hijab because it’s scary to clients. You go to HR and tell them that you feel that management is discriminating against you based on religion. Not long after, you are demoted to a position where clients won’t physically see you. That is retaliation. Yet another way you may be retaliated against includes someone not hiring you. For example, let’s say you are going through the application process for a job. You have done two phone interviews that went really well. They want to meet you one more time in person to get to know you and do another interview. This is all seeming like they want to hire you. But you’re visibly pregnant. You walk into the interview and the boss looks at your stomach and says, “We’re really looking for someone who is ready to take the responsibilities of this job on right away.” It’s very disappointing. You don’t hear back from the job. You think you won’t get the position because you’re pregnant so you go to the EEOC and they begin to investigate. They come back and tell you that the company hadn’t made their choice. They were going to hire you but now that you filed this claim they won’t. With the help of a California retaliation lawyer, this is a lawsuit that you may be able to bring.
