Can a written declaration detailing perceived malfeasance of duty by a superior be considered grounds for claiming a hostile work environment by that superior? And does the fact that the declaration was written, as different to spoken, subject the employer to potential liability and the declarant to private liability to the subject of the criticism?
What would you do if the owner of your affair got upset and told you to leave? Is he firing you? He says no and that he will call you if he needs you. Your his only Mechanic and question this choice. You also have thousands worth in tools, so if your being fired, you need to take them with you. The owner then spits in your face, no one there (in your workplace) wants the police called. So you leave, make a police report, but can you go back to that workplace and work for a name who would do that to you?? If you could not, do you reckon you should qualify for unemployment? What legal recourse does an employee have to stand up for his right to not be treated like this? Is this work-house bullying? I know it’s assault and battery. Would you consider this to be a hostile work environment?
My mother was attacked at work by a co worker who was just told she was fired and thought my mom has something to do with it. This hostile assistant has been harassing my mother for months.Some occassions the lady has just blatantly cursed my mom out and nothing happened to her. My mom place in her two weeks notice. it was then that the manager said he would fire the other lady. Well the morning of the hit, the lady came up and their manager informed her she was fired. She started cursing my mom but my mom walked away. The lady jumped her from behind and hit her repeatedly in the head with a coffee cup. the ambulance and police were called the lady went to jail. And after watching the tapes, the lady was coming back at my mom with a knife but a name stopped her. It was then the manager says oh yeah she carries it all the time. I want to know if my mom can sue the lady and the company for allowing the workplace to be an unsafe environment? It was also learned that the lady has a lenghty record which would have disqualified her fromt he job, so I’m thinking they didn’t even do a social class check. I’m just worried about all these hospital and doctors bills that she now has.
Not wanting to hurt the ecomony, but my mother is very nearly 60yrs ancient..and her well being is my #1 interest.
I’m am now experiencing a major issue with a manager at my part time job. It has a lot do with gossiping, corruption, and rising a hostile work environment with an employee. The issue involves another co-worker that I am friends with and my merchandising manager. I was pissed off when I found out that the manager lied on me to my co-worker about something he didn’t see me do. He pulled her up your sleeve and said that he saw me on my cell phone in the fitting room and that he would keep an eye on me. If he saw the phone out again, then I’m done. My co worker looked confused and questioned why is he amplification this to her and did he tell me about it. He said he did, but he lied and never warned me about anything. He also gives me stares at times while working, and is flirtatious to my co-worker. He’s a back-stabber and will smile in your face like everything is fine. I felt uncomfortable because he’s sharing fake accusation about me behind my back to another co-worker, which is very un- professional. He also told lies to other managers about others and myself, so I’m worried about my job right now. I also feel this has alot to do with my hours being reduced, since I work 20 or more hours every week.
Is this a sign of harrassment in the workplace? Should I talk to the head boss or the corporate office about this?
I have always been the guy who lives his life with honesty, and tries to treat others with decency and respect. I have carried this over into the workplace.
Unfortunately, I have learned that corporate life is not conducive to working on the straight and narrow. Not only do unethical and hostile public make more money and get promoted quicker, they really target those who are trustworthy and respectful.
It’s not a matter of me vacant around and shaking my finger at them and lecturing them either. I just mind my own affair and do my thing, which seems to aggravate them even more.
Heres the deal. For the last 4 years I have worked in telephone fundraising, I know not a fantastic deal, but I started when I was 18. After 2 years I was general manager, and in Feb I was fired for backlash on a paycut. Well I went to another fundraising company and I am back selling on the phone, and I am too excellent at it. I out produce the best veterans in the industry and im 22 years ancient. They despise this and it is making a hostile enviornment. There are 2 public that are top producers, and the boss is her boyfriend and the other is her son who is also 22. Long report small, what is the best way to deal with workplace jealousy? Should I be worried for my job because I am far too overqualified? Any input would be fantastic, thanks!
I want to leave my current job as an Brokerage account payable clerk. I want to resign ( I am currently in search of another position). THis job is very depressing. It is hostile and no one at this job is pleased! They have been through six receptionists since i’ve worked there and I have seen five public hired into this office and three public fired! (dredge up I have only been here six months). Everyone who makes a mistake gets yelled at by a member of mgmt in front of everyone! They do not hesitate to yell at anyone. This is not how mgmt is supposed to be. My boss is depressed and she always takes here frustrations out on me. I will not accept that this is how the workplace is supposed to be. Everyone I talk to says that their job is not like this…..I want to resign. But before I do, I’ve only worked with this company for six months. So my two questions are 1) What would my reason be for leaving this company and I only been here for six months when I interview for another position and 2) Should I resign with a nast letter(I really want to tell them how I feel) or a professional letter?
Why are women so hostile towards each other?
So we had this cute new girl join our firm this past month. I and the other guys have noticed a lot of hostility towards her by the other girls in the office. When we go out to lunch, she eats with us, 3 or 4 guys, instead of the other girls. She’s also been rudely cut off while speaking by the other women during meetings. They go out of their way to make her feel unwelcome. I don’t get why women are so threatened by a pretty, smart girl in the workplace of all places ? I mean its not like we’re banging each other that the girls should be defending their turf or something. I don’t get it
Is there a name for anything of poorer quality than having too much favoritism in the workplace? I mean when 60% of the workplace employees are all related to each other. I have been told that this is not nepotism because it is not a government employer-it is also NOT a family affair. It is a corporation. There is no union and no parent (umbrella corporation) so when incidents arise those trapped up are allowed to weasel through and “get by” without writeups. 50% of the employees OBSTRUCT those working diligently and the other 50% (those not related) are always having to re-prove themselves (regardless of how many years on the job). When the subject of HIRING FROM THE OUTSIDE comes up public initiation getting hostile-all the way up the ladder from the bottom. It also amazes me when questions about favoritism are posted how many respond by saying to “..get a job somewhere else”. WRONG!! That’s a cop out and an excuse.Do not respond with sarcasm or you will be reported for manipulate
OK. How do sexual stalking and rape play into this kind of work environment?
I’ve worked at my job since I was 16. I’m now 21 and for the past 5 years, every summer and winter break until recently; I’ve been employed at Qdoba Mexican Grill, as a basic lineperson. I obtained the job due to nepotism, my father owns the local contract. It was due to this that I was and never could be fired, and indeed I was not. I worked hard and presume I preformed well; although I can not confirm this as I has received a performance review with ANY manager, ever. The reason I quit is that at the my current location, and, in reality every location ever since originally employment. I have been treated as unnecessary burden by the managers and disliked and disrespected by the crew. Although nearly every manager, but one, treated me with a superficially kindness as I grew older the attitude they showed me started to become suspect. If I made a mistake they weren’t worried and my every wish for more or less hours was contracted. I believe this may be the reason that I never stayed at the same restraunt for more than a few months. I reckon that I was viewed as a concise, and seasonal burden. The staff was, as in most restraunts, were a gaggle of teenage girls and immature ‘dudes’. These individuals as well disliked me-all of them. This is an unfortunate and seemingly systematic problem of mine. The female employees viewed me as creepy while the males as a dork. As well I was refused access to the workplace social life, everyone else vacant somewhere or responsibility something together, and me left to my own friends who weren’t involved with my job. Over time the managers seemed to take part in this, on some levels encourage this maltreatment. Never the less I took my emotionalbludgeoningl for exchanger I was promised a secure job by the side of with a paycheck. All of this was, of course, behind the scenes. As I would stand preforming some task I would overhear conversations among the managers or the staff in which I was described as an ‘idiot’ or a homosexual (I’m not), or a creep…ect. This recently reached the breaking point, I didn’t storm out or make an embarrassing scene; I informed my father, who I had previously been keeping this from; of my situation. At which point I was allowed to quit. Either way, I’m not sure of what to do about the situation. I’m sure many public despise there job, but if it involves a hostile work environment; isn’t that on a different level than say, terrible hours, or low pay? I guess why I questioned this is that: I’m not sure how to feel, on one hand I’m elated and on the other I’m terrified at the prospect of unemployment and worried that where ever I go it will be as terrible or of poorer quality than where I left. If you were in my situation, what would you have done?
Thanks in advance, wretched it was sooo long!
