In California employment law, protections are designed to prevent discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other wrongful acts tied to specific protected classes or activities—like race, gender, age, disability, or asserting rights.
Standard workplace competition, even if it’s fierce or stressful, generally doesn’t violate these protections. It’s only when competitive actions cross the line into discrimination, retaliation, or harassment related to protected activity that they become unlawful.
If you are facing retaliation or adverse actions because they exercised your protected rights or belong to a protected class, that’s where legal help is needed. Otherwise, healthy competition—while sometimes challenging—is usually lawful.
