What Constitutes a Hostile Work Environment?
Obnoxious coworkers or a rude boss can make any job seemingly intolerable, but they do not create a hostile work environment in and of themselves. In order to have a valid legal claim, certain criteria must be met. In essence, a hostile work environment is a workplace where the conduct of an employer or fellow employees creates a workplace so discriminatory that it impacts the ability of a person to do their job. If a reasonable person would find the behavior egregiously intimidating or abusive, there's a good chance your legal claim is valid.
A hostile working environment may involve:
- Discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, age, race, pregnancy, or disability
- Sexual harassment
- Racial harassment
- Aggressive behaviors from authority, including verbal or physical threats or direct physical violence
- Numerous complaints against management or the company itself
- Workplace retaliation
If you are unsure whether your experience meets the criteria for a hostile work environment, we're here to help. Request an initial case review today.
