As attorneys, we often hear clients make statements like:

• "They had no problems with my work until I complained of the harassment."
• "After I filed that complaint, the work environment turned hostile."
• "I was forced to quit, just to keep from losing my sanity and self-respect."

In some cases, there is an almost immediate retaliatory discharge. In these cases, the connection between the employee's actions and being fired by his or her employer soon after is fairly clear. But most cases involve more subtle forms of retaliation. For example:

A woman complains to HR that her boss or some other employee is sexually harassing her. What the employer must then do is conduct a thorough investigation of the complaint and then take proper action to ensure that the harassment stops immediately. What often happens is that the employer, then or later, begins retaliating against the complaining woman with poor performance reviews, demotions, transfers or other negative employment actions to try to get the complaining woman to quit. If that doesn't work, the woman is often fired or terminated on a pretext of "downsizing" or something else.
