        "text": "To prove workplace retaliation, you generally need to show three things: you engaged in a protected activity (e.g., reported harassment), your employer took adverse action against you (e.g., demotion), and there's a causal connection between the two. Evidence can include emails, text messages, performance reviews, witness statements, internal memos, and your own detailed notes of incidents, dates, and conversations. Keeping a thorough record of events is crucial for building a strong case.",
