Your Voice is What Matters.
Being Fired for Speaking Up is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Feeling like it was because you did the right thing is devastating. Laws protect you from being punished for reporting illegal activity. Let's explore your rights.

01

Reported Harassment

You filed a formal complaint about sexual harassment or a hostile work environment. Soon after, you were put on a “performance plan" and then terminated.
02

Whistleblowing

You reported unsafe working conditions (OSHA), fraud (SEC), or other illegal practices. Your manager's attitude change, and you were fired.
03

Supported a Colleague

You acted as a witness for a colleague's discrimination claim. Suddenly, your own work was under intense scrutiny, leading to your dismissal.

Answering your Questions

Understanding Your Rights

Navigating your rights after retaliation can feel overwhelming. Our Free Leverage Assessment is built to clarify your situation.

Q: What is a “protected activity"?

A. It's a specific action protected by law. This includes reporting discrimination, participating in an HR investigation, or reporting illegal activity (whistleblowing).

Q: What is a “causal connection"?

A. This is the link between your protected activity and the firing. A very short time between your complaint and your termination is the most common evidence.

Your Retaliation Checklist Can Help:

Did you recently report harassment, discrimination, or illegal activity?
Did you participate in an HR or legal investigation?
Were you terminated shortly after this activity (e.g., within days or weeks)?
Did you suddenly receive your first-ever negative performance review?
Was the official reason for your firing vague or unsupported by evidence?
