- Hostile Work Environment can be debilitating in the workplace.
To win your harassment case you must prove these 4 things.
1. It must be discriminatory towards a protected classification
2. It must be persistent overtime, not limited to a single time
3. It is so severe that it disrupts your work or your career
4. You've made your employer aware of it, but he/she refuses to take action

It just sucks employees think hostile work environment can mean bad workplace due to a jerk boss-but to prove it’s due to a protected class, bosses will never make it due to your class.
What if when u go to supervisor and then there's retaliation and worse hostility
I quit and go somewhere else. Being a consistently hard worker provides that privilege
I'm not a lawyer, but it may fall under the whistle-blower act.
Yes, you could find somewhere else to work, but that doesn't break the chain for future employees, and no one should be bullied out of a comfortable work environment.
Go to HR and report it. Then find a no win no fee lawyer who is willing to fight for you
Same
@GodisLove_1111good to know.
The fact that you have to prove you are protected class makes zero sense. EVERYONE is, or should be, a protected class. No one deserves to be treated to a bully/hostile work environment. I'm going through it right now. I've been with the company for 10 months but my "colleague" has been there 10 years. I have heard that he was likely the reason others have left. I try to treat everyone with respect, civility and professionalism. This guy continues to harrass me. I have notified management but I'm still worried that because of his tenure he will continue with his abusive behavior. I know there is "training" for some people but if this is a character trait can it truly be unlearned? I hate it. I don't want to put up with it anymore. I don't want anyone else to have to put up with it. I'm worried for my future employment. All because one guy never learned to play nice with others. I sympathize with anyone who may be in a similar situation.
Thank you.
what you must try is the exit!! Hostile work is something to escape, not something to tolerate
Good chance there'll be harassment at your next job. That's why quitting doesn't always help. A lot of work places are hostile.
By leaving you are letting the abusers know that their behaviour is okay. Report it to HR and then get a lawyer to claim
What if the problem is the HR Department?
Yes, i m in HR department n d environment is hostile n i dnt know what to do, problem is all my co workers are keeping to it fearing loss of job. Any help on this one wld be appreciated
Just know that HR is really there on the company’s behalf, not yours. You might have to go above them
I was gang up on with one by my manger hr front desk and security to make it look like I wasn't working
Then you bout to get paid
I was targeted by a man who literally watched almost everything I did. It was awful. All shift every shift. I don't understand why someone expects someone to cope with that kind of monitoring.
Sounds like covert workplace harassment, domestic espionage, gang stalking. Did you investigate their motives?
Aflac totally used and discarded me w/o paying me….they fight hard to recruit you and then the nightmare starts..
1:22....there we go. Keep it up. We have gotten passed the yelling point. I shut that down the minute it happen. Aint no one yelling at me!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Well I'm not in a protected class so its not hostile..okie dokie.
Everyone is in a protected class.
No, i think she’s saying that it’s easier if you are a protected class. Doesn’t mean that you don’t have a valid case if you are being targeted
What to do if you work at a place that have local attorneys as friends, and associates?
She refused to correct it.I lost money
The HR is corrupt. Where to file
What if human resources doesn't like you????
What about domestic espionage in the work place?
So, the law doesnt provide a remedy for many victims and survivors of hostility at work. Still think unions are unnecessary? In any case, this video is helpful, as it gives us solid facts.
thx
Employer is the main person involved so it goes to him with the violation
Definitely have a case
I have 8 minutes of audio recording from when I quit my previous job, I was quiting due to the way the owner had been treating me and started a recording because I knew he would lash out. In it he degrades my character, belittles my persons, as well as implicated others from our outside mutual organization of conspiring against me. I have both ptsd & adhd to which he was made aware, and belittled as well (not in audio). I was never paid for my work or ever put on the books, but I can prove I worked for him through txts & fb msgs he sent me.
Does this sound like enough for a case?
Are you a white straight non disabled male ? If the answer is yes you have no case. You have to be in a legally protected class. Example of legal protected class are persons of color, lgbtq, disabled , a female being harrass by a make co worker
@@smanthawalsh and veterans. He said PTSD so he might be military which would count. If the PTSD is documented and being treated that would count as a form of mental disability.
@@smanthawalshthis is a straight up lie.
Recording an individual without his knowledge is grounds for you to get countersued as it is illegal in majority of states. Look up your state law concerning recordings without consent of the other party.
Otherwise you better keep that recording private for your ears only to hear.
My heart goes out to you and others. I experienced something similar just a few days ago.
So unless you're black old or gay you have no rights. You can't be serious!!!
@olheghtt
Everyone has rights….
@@grateful..ronaldwearestill8187 some people's rights just seem to carry a little more weight.
You sound like a straight white male. Who make most of the laws and rules. Interesting.
@@olheghtt Unfortunately, you may be more right than you know.
@@grateful..ronaldwearestill8187 yea, some people seem to have the right to be violent while others have the right to be assaulted.
Any contacts for legal advice in Florida? Thank you
I checked all of the boxes. I live in Idaho. What options do I have for legal representation?
I love you.
I got fired back in 2017 but nobody wanted to see the proof I had. Can I make a video sharing my experience on UA-cam, and can I include pictures, emails, etc.? The company was sold and is now under new ownership, does that matter?
Is Michigan an at will state?
Thank you for the valuable information I wish you were located in Florida.
Spare you troubles and headache, just silenty perform your job to the point of excelling. That will frustrate your haters evenmore, their frustration will lead to their behaving badly and others wil notice it eventually.
Hey government!! How about instead of only protecting special categories, we GD protect all yohr taxpaying citizens?!?!?
Dp you offer one on one service?
I work for a company contracted by the DOS overseas. I have been subjected to work place threats, bullying, intimidation and attempts to attack me while at work. This has caused me mental anguish, sleep disruption, loss of concentration, disruption in my work performance, loss of wages etc. I was told to either learn to deal with it or resign. I resigned out of fear of harm and reprials and because I was told I had not other choice other than continuing to work in the hostile and debilitating environment. Please advise
Sue this bullshit is real
👍☺️
If a male has a pattern of screaming at a female is that hostile or do they have to be screaming about the protected class specifically?
@alicev6488
That is a hostile work environment and also toxic:/ sounds like anger/rage issues bound to escalate
I worked at my Exes Parents Restaurant. While I was finishing after close with my boss(my exes step father), my ex came in and stole my phone from my pocket, demanding I gave her my car keys. She then grabbed a knife and pointed it at me, threatening me if I tried grabbing my phone back an hour later of arguing and having 2 knives and scissors pointed at me, she bit me. My boss did nothing to get my phone back, did nothing to disarm his daughter, and then demanded that I give her my car keys or he would call the cops on me.
She has constantly came into the restaurant and threatened and screamed at me over the months. But never to this point. The owner has never asked her to leave or stop her actions.
I filed a domestic violence report. The cops are trying to get footage now from their security cameras. But now, as I can not work there anymore due to this, I am trying to see if I can get workmans comp.

A lot of grammatical errors in this video….
Not a firm I would work with.
They need to have other alternatives
