2. Webinar Highlights:

Presenter: Attorney Bridgit Truxillo

Background:

  • Former FL deputy in Narcotics and SWAT

  • Faced harassment at work for being female

  • Transitioned into law to help clients nationwide with harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environments

Key Discussion Points:

Understanding Workplace Behavior:

Mean Boss vs. Targeted Discrimination:

  • Mean Boss: Tough on everyone (often common in various professions)

  • Targeted Discrimination: A boss who singles you out with discriminatory behavior

Steps to Take If You’re Targeted:

Bridgit advises immediate action using these three steps:

  1. Seek Appropriate Help:

    • Consult your FOP or PBA representative or obtain outside legal counsel.

  2. Document Everything:

    • Record dates, specifics of incidents, and names of those involved.

  3. Report It Twice:

    • Report the incident to both your HR department and your command staff.

    • (This dual reporting ensures that separate investigations can be conducted—a critical step for a strong legal case.)

Why Reporting Is Critical:

  • Without a formal report, resolving the issue or building a solid legal case is nearly impossible.

  • Be aware of strict time limits for reporting. For full details—including what happens after you report to the EEOC—please watch the webinar.
