Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in your workplace, because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation that you need because of your religious beliefs or disability. Retaliation because you complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
