Your Performance is What Matters. Being Fired for Gender is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Feeling like it was because of your gender, pregnancy, or sexual orientation is devastating. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects you from this discrimination. Let's explore your rights.

01

Unequal Pay & Promotion

You discovered male colleagues with the sam job and less experience were being paid more. You were repeatedly passed over for promotions that went to men.
02

Termination After Pregnancy

You disclosed you were pregnant or returned from maternity leave. Suddenly, your “performance" was an issue, and your position was “eliminated."
03

Hostile Work Environment

You faced constant harassment, “jokes," or biased comments about your gender that your manager ignored. When you complained, you were fired.
