Salinas Hostile Work Environment Attorney

Are You Dealing With A Hostile Work Environment? 

Put A Stop To It.Is your toxic work environment getting you down? Are you unable to focus at work because of workplace harassment? Are you overthinking your situation or do you need to take a long hard look at your work environment? If you think you’re dealing with a hostile work environment, you have to be clear about what exactly it is that you’re facing at work and if it qualifies as “hostile”. “Hostile work environment” is a term borrowed from civil law. While a rude boss, uncooperative colleagues, dissatisfying work climate, lack of perks/promotion/recognition meet the pointers of this definition, there are certain legal yardsticks that need to be fulfilled in order for a workplace to be appropriately called “hostile.”

Find Out If Your Work Environment Qualifies as Hostile

The Law Office of John Klopfenstein in Salinas, California will help you figure out if your workplace merely is unbearable or qualifies as legally hostile.

If your boss or co-worker makes the performance of your daily job responsibilities difficult and derails your expectations for a comfortable and functional work atmosphere, the work environment stands to be labeled “hostile.”

If the communication you receive in your workplace smacks of discrimination, it is another indicator that your work might be “hostile.” Sexually suggestive/inappropriate behavior by work peers also qualifies a workplace as hostile.

If a boss covertly insults you, deriding you for your religion/ethnicity or so on, he/she is guilty of constructing a hostile workplace.

The workplace is doubly hostile if you’ve asked the people indulging in such hostility to stop and they have continued in their actions despite it.

If your boss has noticed this behavior and is not party to it personally but has done nothing to solve it, he/she is also accountable for this hostility.
