Did your employer treat you differently than other employees by not promoting you, not offering you the same opportunities, and benefits as other employees?

Did your employer treat you differently than other employees in terms of payment for your work performed, the quality of your work environment, opportunities or training for advancement?

Did your employer have "rules" that are applied only to you, but not to others?

Were you disabled, sick, or pregnant or did you need time off to take care of yourself or a family member and find that your employer retaliated against you?

If you believe race, sex, religion, ethic origin, age, disability, pregnancy, gender orientation or sexual orientation may have been a factor in your layoff or termination, or in your employer's treating you differently than other employees by not offering you the same opportunities and benefits, you may be the victim of illegal discrimination. With the advancement of civil rights laws, and an awareness of these laws by employers, discrimination in the workplace is often not as overt as it was forty years ago and it may be disguised and more subtle. It can take place when you are excluded from activities and meetings. Harassment can take many forms: having rules that apply only to you but not to others, offensive jokes, your employer's treating you differently than other employees in terms of the quality of your work environment, payment for your work performed, opportunities and training for advancement.
