There will be many occasions where you feel you are being treated unfairly at work. Most of the times these will be minor or un-intended mistakes made by colleagues or managers that are not repeated regularly.

There are lots of sensible ways of handle unfair treatment at work when it is fairly minor. 

In this video, I am covering unfair treatment in the workplace which is intentional and repeated regularly, or bullying, or similar tactics intended to control and put you down in some way.

Having to handle an unfair manager or deal with significant unfair treatment at work is not fun or easy. 

Being unfairly treated at work over a period of time leaves you with three main choices:
1. Continue ignoring the unfair treatment or do little in response
2. Leave and get a job in another company
3. Fight the unfair treatment

Who is treating your unfairly is pretty huge. How does their influence within the business compare to yours. The bigger this difference is, the harder it will be to change their unfair treatment.

Finding a new job in another company is a hassle and it does take time and effort. This is a common response and often is the easiest, particularly if you can move jobs easily. If you have a bad boss, this is probably your easiest choice.

Doing nothing or little in response as a way to handle unfair treatment at work can be a good choice. If the unfair treatment is for a short period of time and you know it will end. This will avoid the risk of creating waves or being labelled as a problem employee.

If doing nothing is impacting your ability to your work, or your health, then look at other options.

Fighting unfair treatment at work will take time and energy. There are steps that you should take that will make any action you take more successful which I cover in the video.

Is it worth fighting unfair boss depends on what is at stake and the difference in influence both parties have within the business. 
I also share my experience to deal with unfair treatment at work. I have tried doing nothing, leaving and fighting, each with pros and cons for me personally.
