Are You Being Discriminated At Work Because You Are Young, Female, And Attractive? Hire A Lawyer And Take Action Today
Posted on: 15 June 2023
Have you been passed over for many promotional opportunities at work, and you think that it has to do with your gender, the way that you look, and your social activities? Do you feel like being a young, attractive female prevented you from getting what you have worked for? If so, you want to contact a discrimination lawyer.
If you can prove that you have been made fun of around the office because of the way that you look, hit on by people that you work with, and that you have put out more high-quality work than others but are being ignored for pay raises and promotions, talk with a lawyer about these things.
Evidence
There are many different pieces of evidence that can show you are being discriminated against because of your age and gender or attractiveness, such as:
- Demeaning emails
- Proof of success over others like sales, accounts, accomplishments, etc.
- Jokes made about you in public settings
- Eyewitness statements from other employees on what has been said about you
With this information, the lawyer will be able to look into the details and find out if you are being discriminated against and if there is a case strong enough to move forward.
Billing Questions
You want to know what you could end up paying in legal fees so you don't get overwhelmed at the end of the case. Talk with the lawyer and ask how they bill. The lawyer may want to set a deposit fee that is paid and nonrefundable and then will work with you either by billing by the hour or at the end of the case. If the lawyer takes a portion of the settlement, look to see how much this amount will be. Some lawyers are willing to take this out of the settlement amount, so you don't have to pay upfront.
Settlement or Court
Once your discrimination lawyer has all of the evidence and is ready to move forward, they will reach out to the legal team for your employer. If the evidence is overwhelming, the company may just want to settle quickly. This will prevent the public from knowing about it, and will hopefully allow others that work for the staff to not be aware. If they aren't willing to settle or aren't giving you what you want, then you may have to go to court.
If you have managers, CEOs, or other work professionals that are passing over giving you the opportunities you've earned because you are young, female, and they don't take you seriously, get a lawyer today. You shouldn't show up to work every day to be discriminated against, and you should get the compensation you deserve. Reach out to a discrimination lawyer near you to learn more.
