Retaliation Is Real. And It’s Illegal.
You told HR your manager was biased. Or flagged that you were being treated differently. Days later, you're being written up, excluded from meetings, or suddenly on a performance improvement plan. Sound familiar?
This is retaliation. And under California law, it’s against the law.
What Counts as Retaliation?
Being demoted or fired after complaining about discrimination.
Being denied hours, raises, or promotions after reporting misconduct.
Hostile behavior or increased scrutiny after asserting your rights.
What Should You Do?
Document everything, including emails, texts, performance reviews, and witness names.
Save copies of any complaints or HR reports you made.
Talk to an attorney as soon as you notice a pattern.

You have a right to speak up without being punished. And we can help you hold your employer accountable.
