If you are being treated unfairly in the workplace, there are a number of steps you can take in order to protect your rights:

Document The Unfair Treatment

It is recommended that you always report a treatment you think is unlawful or unfair in your workplace even if you are unsure that such a treatment is discrimination or harassment.
The documentation includes all the email messages, internal memo, office communications, voicemail, etc. It is vital to keep evidence of the discrimination in order to forward it to the court.
You may also be able to use this information as bargaining chip in the determination of your severance pay and other conditions of your severance package in case you choose to resign or let go. It would also make sense to jot down on a piece of paper anything that comes to mind about mistreatment incidences. Ideally, this information should be jotted down as soon as possible as the individual gets notice of the details and specifics.

Report The Unfair Treatment

However, if you plan to stay at your workplace, your lawyer can recommend you to file a complaint of unfair treatment to your Organization’s Human Resource offices.
It can be so unfortunate that when you report unfair treatment at the workplace a few things occur. The report assists in formalizing you complain and also placed you under the ‘whistleblower’ bracket. This means that you will have rights close to those of Discrimination victims. Your employer cannot dismiss you from service or demote you after you make a complaint because this looks like a form of punishment.

Thus, to a large extent, the filing of the formal complaint, in addition to documenting the incidents of the unfair treatment, also serves to shield the employee against any further abuses, or even termination of employment, which may be unlawful. However, it may encourage your employer to change the injustice you are witnessing, but it is not certain.

Don’t Post Anything on Social Media

Just like my previous message where I encouraged people to join social media, I would like to tell everyone to keep of social media. There is, however, one thing that could hurt you and I this very much – Never, ever share your mistreatment on social platforms. Of course, it does make perfect sense why unfair treatment is anger prompting. However, that would be highly advisable for you to stay calm and not to get infuriated. One could go up in smoke or burst on the internet or social media platforms and this could probably see you on the wrong side of the bargain.

Your employment attorney can also tell you to deactivate your social media account until the case is over because attorneys for the other side might be on the lookout for something they can possibly use to justify your firing or something that can favor their side of the case. Remember that anything that is typed into the social media can be viewed by others. Anything that you post on social media your attorneys will be able to gather and use it against to your disadvantage and to their client’s advantage.

Take Care of Yourself

Yes, workplace mistreatment or harassment is psychologically damaging to the employees.
Taking care of one’s self is very critical during such a time. For someone, it’s always good to talk to members of the family, spiritual advisor and or friends. Where you think a treatment at work was criminal, for instance, being harassed physically or sexually, it is vital for you to report the case to figures of authority like the police because the culprits should face the law.
If there are such support groups in the places where you live, it will be useful to tell such a group how you feel. It is also recalled that in support groups people are equally encouraged when they realize that there are others who are going through similar situations.
