It looks like your employer complied with all the laws during your layoff. However, based on your answers, you have previously experienced discrimination and harassment at work. And we're here to help you get compensated for that.

It's sad to hear that you went through a layoff. However, we are here to help you restore justice. Firstly, it looks like you faced prejudice at work based on your characteristics. And this is discrimination. Protected characteristics include race, color, sex, religion, gender, age (40 and older), sexual orientation, disability, national origin, and pregnancy. If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation.  According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, US employers pay more than $595.9 million a year in compensation for employment discrimination complaints, and the average compensation is around $40,000. However, only about 17.4% of submitted complaints are approved. Therefore, finding a competent lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential. You can learn more about fighting against discrimination and getting compensated at https://allrights.us/discrimination.   Secondly, it looks like you faced harassment at work. If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation.  The EEOC reports that US firms pay more than $142.2 million a year in compensation for allegations of employment harassment. The average compensation that employees receive equals $31,741. However, in 2021, just 20.1% of filled charges received approval. Thus, finding an attorney to assist you in drafting the documentation for a charge is crucial.

How to get compensated for discrimination and harassment at work: You can file a complaint online on the EEOC website, in person at an EEOC Office, by telephone, or by mail (all contacts are published on the EEOC website). Please note that you need to file a complaint within 180 calendar days from the day when discrimination or harassment at the workplace took place. Sometimes, the filing deadline may be extended to 300 calendar days. If your employer has discriminated against a group of workers (including you) when laying them off, you may file a class action complaint against your employer. We advise you to find a competent lawyer to prepare the papers. Your employer may persuade you not to bring a claim against it in return for severance. An employer is not obliged to pay severance unless promised by your employment contract or the employer's policies or practices. If you agree to receive severance, try negotiating the terms with your employer before entering a severance agreement. It's advisable to give this agreement to an independent lawyer for review because it waives your right to file a claim against your employer.
