Today, we pause. 🇺🇸

At Filippatos PLLC, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend—it’s a profound reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and dedication required to protect the freedoms we enjoy every single day.

As we gather with our families and loved ones today, we hold space to remember our fallen heroes. Their legacy is a reminder of what it truly means to stand for something greater than ourselves.

How is your family honoring or remembering our heroes today? Let us know below.👇

As microaggressions continue, they can begin to impact how an employee’s work is
perceived and valued. Over time, individuals may feel their contributions are overlooked or unfairly judged, leading to concerns about job security. It is often at this stage—when termination or serious consequences seem likely—that employees make more direct and formal complaints, linking their experiences to discrimination.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚
Your mental health is protected by law — and your employer knows it.

Fired after requesting a mental health day? Passed over for a promotion after disclosing a diagnosis? Forced out for needing an accommodation? That is discrimination, and we fight it every day.

At Filippatos PLLC, we believe no one should have to choose between their wellbeing and their livelihood. If your employer has punished you for prioritizing your mental health, we want to hear your story.

Together, we win. 💚

If you or someone you know has been impacted, know that support and legal options may be available.

If you’ve witnessed wrongdoing at work, you might be looking for a way to report it without putting your job—or your reputation—on the line. But how anonymous are these reports, really? 🧐

There is a big difference between an "anonymous" report and a "confidential" one. Before you pick up the phone or send that email, it is vital to understand how the law protects (and sometimes doesn't protect) your identity.

In our new post, we discuss the risks of internal reporting, the power of federal whistleblower programs, and how to stay safe from retaliation.

At Filippatos PLLC, we stand in solidarity with employees who have the courage to speak the truth.
