The Hallmarks Of A Hostile Work Environment
Employment discrimination can take many forms. Sometimes, it’s an overt action such as refusal to hire or unequal pay. Other times, it can be subtler — but still just as damaging.
You should never have to endure a hostile work environment that involves:
- Discriminatory comments
- Off-color jokes
- Inappropriate advances
- Unwanted touching
- Offensive photos or drawings
- Bullying
- Name calling
- Other types of harassment
Even if not directed at you personally, these behaviors can make it difficult for you to show up at work every day, much less function at your best. The law recognizes that employees have a right to a discrimination-free workplace that is safe and comfortable.
If your job performance is suffering because of a hostile work environment, it’s time to speak with a lawyer.
