How do I know if I'm being treated unfairly at work?

One of the hardest parts of unfair treatment is the doubt: you feel it, but you cannot be sure it is real, so you wonder if you are imagining things. That doubt is common, and it is often part of how unfairness hides. The fact that you keep noticing a pattern is worth taking seriously, not brushing away. Get it out of your head and onto paper. For the next while, write down specific moments: what happened, when, who was there, and how it compared to how others were treated. Patterns are hard to see in the moment but clear on a page. You are not building a case against yourself; you are gathering facts so you can see clearly. Then say it out loud to one person you trust, and listen to how it sounds when it leaves your mouth. This week, start the list. You do not have to decide what to do yet. First you just need to see the truth of it plainly. Clarity comes before any next step.
