From Blindsided to Backed: What to Do When You’re Targeted at Work

Two professional women reviewing a document at work, representing workplace discrimination defense and legal support.

Maybe your supervisor stopped inviting you to meetings. Maybe your job duties disappeared overnight. Or maybe HR suddenly opened an “investigation” based on vague complaints.

If you’re being targeted at work, it’s not in your head, and it may be illegal.

At The Spiggle Law Firm, we’ve helped thousands of employees like you go from blindsided to backed with a clear, strategic discrimination defense. Whether it’s retaliation, bias, or wrongful discipline, here’s what you need to know.

What You’re Experiencing Workplace Discrimination?

Workplace discrimination comes in many forms. Some are blatant. Others are subtle but equally damaging.

Common signs include:

  • Sudden demotion or exclusion after a complaint
  • Being disciplined for something others get away with
  • Unequal pay, workload, or opportunities based on race, gender, age, or disability
  • Retaliation for reporting harassment or unethical behavior
  • Pressure to quit or resign quietly

Even if your employer is trying to make it look “neutral,” the law sees through the smoke. That’s where an employment defense lawyer comes in.

Why You Need a Discrimination Defense Lawyer

Most people wait too long. They hope HR will fix it. They fear making it worse.

But the truth is: every day you delay, your legal position weakens.

A discrimination defense attorney can:

  • Preserve your paper trail and build evidence
  • Communicate on your behalf to avoid missteps
  • Assess your legal rights under Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and more
  • Prevent termination or negotiate exit terms
  • File claims strategically, with timing that favors your outcome

You’re not just defending your job; you’re defending your future career path, reputation, and mental health.

What to Do Right Now If You’re Being Targeted at Work

You don’t need to make a legal claim immediately. But you do need to act like someone who might—because you could have a stronger case than you think.

Step 1: Document Everything

  • Keep emails, performance reviews, texts, Slack messages, etc.
  • Use a private log to track discriminatory incidents.

Step 2: Don’t Go Straight to HR (Yet)

HR works for the company, not you. Get legal advice first.

Step 3: Schedule a Consultation with a Discrimination Defense Lawyer

  • Whether you’re being unlawfully targeted
