Discrimination at work can often be subtle, leaving you questioning whether what you're experiencing is okay. Understanding your rights is crucial.

We explore real Tribunal cases that reveal different forms of workplace discrimination—from race and age to gender and disability. These examples show how others have stood up and successfully fought back against toxic environments.

If you're concerned about your workplace, these cases will give you the clarity and confidence to take action.

🚩 Spotting gaslighting at work 🚩

Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic used in the workplace to undermine your confidence and perception of reality. This can involve denying, altering, or twisting facts to make you doubt your version of events, causing emotional distress and long-term mental health effects.

To fight back, keep contemporaneous notes. These notes serve as crucial evidence in a Tribunal and help you stay clear and confident during stressful times. Recording events clearly can counter the effects of gaslighting, keeping you grounded in your reality.

Learn how to protect yourself using contemporaneous notes: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0bHcM50

Flexible working requests are on the rise. Here's your guide to making a request at work:

1. Check Your Contract: Your contract typically will specify your place of work.
2. Request Flexible Working: From day one, you can request flexible working. Your employer must consider it fairly and respond within 2 months.
3. Investigate Hybrid Working: Hybrid working splits your time between the office and home. Discuss this option with your employer.
4. Request Reasonable Adjustments: If you’re disabled, ask for adjustments like working from home to accommodate your needs.
