After over a decade with a previous employer who fired me because I wouldn't quit after a few years of making my life a living hell (workplace wise). My Pit Bull/Shark of an attorney went after them with a vengeance. Not only did he go after break and overtime violations on my behalf, but found nearly everyone on hourly pay was being violated. They had to pay CA and federal penalties, a class action lawsuit and closed down an entire branch. If they treated me with respect I would have walked away with no issues. No, it was demeaning, cruel and awful. It also cost them almost a million dollars in fines, fees, payments, my attorney fees. Don't treat your employees like shit. The End

Thank you sir, you gave me the courage to find a lawyer to take my case after being fired. I reported sexual harassment to both my manager and HR and nothing was done for months, I was then abruptly fired. I was signed up on contingency immediately and they filed a charge with the EEOC on my behalf. I have a sex/hostile/retaliation case. I am currently seeing a mental health provider for the trauma, I hope I have a strong case and am able to seek justice! Love your videos!!

I have worked in multiple hostile work environments. The worst was at a particular social services organization. I can't believe I worked there for 4 years. Our boss treated everyone terribly. She treated someone so terrible that the fired/quit employee won her Unemployment claim and our office was declared a hostile work environment. She badmouthed everyone even making fun of my car and home because I was poor. When someone would put their 2 weeks notice she would see to it those 2 weeks were hell. When she quit she never put in a notice. I took a pay cut when I left that job just to get away from her. I started developing autoimmune issues while working there. She literally made me sick.

I have been harassed at my job by a much older lady for about a year. I am 23 she is late 50s. She has been making passive-aggressive comments towards me for about a year. She also at one point yelled at me infront of the whole kitchen staff which I had to bite my tongue a few months ago. I Immediately went to management and was told they would have a sit down with her (which never happened). This Monday, things completely blew way out of line & she threaten to “knock the shit out of me” and then got her clique to start harassing me. The one friend started clapping in my face saying that no one likes me and that I am a useless worker. The women also was telling other co workers that she loves to mess with me after the situation. I immediately contacted corporate/HR in the bathroom while still at my shift and they told me at this point it is just a “he say she say” and that they are making my manager write up a official documentation saying that if they do it again they will be terminated. I really hope this resolves this situation and the seriousness of it. I have been having suicidal ideation and going to sleep crying, waking up crying, feeling hopeless over it. I know these women want me to quit and I do not want them to get the satisfaction that “they won” especially since this lady told me working here comes with the “survival of the fittest”

Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing once again, I don't know all the managers ect like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums win ever win.

What about a work environment where multiple coworkers are excluding you, ignoring you, being rude, criticizing belittling and then acting like they aren’t doing anything. This includes management so going to them isn’t an option. It definitely feels hostile. But this isn’t included in your definition so how would I explain this.

One thing I disagree with strongly: You said that to only call a lawyer once you've been fired. However, if the hostile work environment is going on, how you HANDLE the ongoing situation UNTIL you leave or are fired is critical to getting the best outcome. Therefore, once it starts to be become hostile, getting some advice on how to proceed can be critical. For example, in England and Wales, if you leave because of constructive dismissal, (ie, you choose to leave because continuing to work there is untenable), you need to say you are leaving because of constructive dismissal in your resignation letter.

@@Lukronius I stayed 8 months. Then resigned. I really liked the job and helping clients but the Negative Vortex of Personalities that existed and was tolerated by My Boss was crazy. He had held that position with NO OVERSIGHT from upper level mgmt for years, in fact 30 years. He is the GateKeeper and controls ALL internal communication with the parent company so employees that are being harassed by him cannot reach out for help from the parent company. The Parent Company has a No Harassment Policy between employees and we had to have computer training on it and sign a document attesting to it, yet our Boss broke it everyday by harassing the employees. The turn over rate for employees there is huge and most people don’t last 5 months. Being that the Boss was a Bully, The Assistant Manager copies the Boss’s Bullying behavior and actively bullies other employees in front of the boss to Earn his praise and admiration. When the boss has a day off the Assistant Manager is just himself and he is great to work with. But with the boss at the store they would hover over my work station and intimidate me by telling each other out loud how stupid I was. When this would happen I would leave my work station and go do other work like process shipping orders. My boss when he was bored would come over to my workstation and say: “I’m just going to stand here because you just LOOK GUILTY”. I would just ignore him and process calls. Then he would stand over me and nitpick everything I was doing. After I resigned I was going to write to the parent company with my complaints but never did because it was a low paying job and really not worth my time. The sales department there was a joke. The commission rate for sales people was 0.03% which made each sales associate completely undermine other sales people in the same department. One Salesman named Stan, would call MY Customers and tell them that I was trying to rip them off, and he would try to steal my clients. I informed my Boss of this and he just laughed in my face. He was a weak Boss and never disciplined people for harassment so people there knew there were no rules. What really angered me was a guy that was a decorated Vietnam Veteran and he pays him $10/ hour and chews him out in front of the other employees. He treats him like shit. I made it my goal to help that Veteran by helping him re-write his resume and get out of that situation. I even gave him my spare MAC computer because he didn’t have anything to look for work in his off time. I hate seeing people get crapped on. Last I heard he was working with the VA to find something better. Makes me sick to my stomach seeing a guy that took a mortar round and lived with injuries working his ass off and then treated so unfairly by this loser boss. If I had stayed there another month, you might have heard about it on the news. I left because I was contemplating physically harming those individuals. Which is Wrong, but it was getting worse everyday. I was losing sleep. Had a pit in my stomach everyday. It’s not worth dying for. I don’t even want to look for another job because every Job out there is like this internally. It’s so depressing. I’m afraid to move forward and end up in this same environment at a different place. Huff. My Dream Job going forward would be to work undercover as a new employee in different companies to root out this internal illegal practices of harassment and to hold companies legally responsible for disrupting people’s lives with bullying and harassment.. Nobody should have to put up with this in their lives. People should have a RIGHT to work hard for their companies and not be driven to suicide from bad bosses.

The only other aspect that could really decrease the probability of this happening elsewhere..is for Human Resources to really become more than JUST an advocate for Companies. Too many HR firms work to only fire Good People so that the Toxicity continues. Management Teams/Human Resources should really root out these negative power structures within their organizations, by encouraging Positive Employee participation. Workplace violence could be eliminated. People could flourish at work, and Happy People work harder for the company. It's a Win-Win, but somehow the ridiculousness continues.

I have to share my story! I was being sexually harassed by the owner of the small company I worked for many years ago, in my late 30's. The creepy boss would always come by my desk area while I was on the phone or doing paperwork. I had a high wall with cabinets above my desk, so it looked somewhat private where I sat. I was one of 2 inside sales women. His 25 yr old son was the Vice President. About 7 employees total. This wealthy boss of mine, would come creeping up behind me while I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, and he would come behind me and roll me out on my chair on wheels and comment on my legs.. smh.. or he would take off his glasses and try to tuk them into my clevage (which was never ever exposed and my legs were mostly covered, from the knee down), I dressed professional, never provocative. That's just not me! The VP of sales who had an office near my desk used to tell me how he always noticed how stable my personality was. He seemed to be ashamed of the boss, so he must have noticed. And one more thing I'll share.. I had a box of those bugel chips at the end of my desk.. and one day he paused and looked at the box and said "hmmmm, bagels, except you don't EAT them... you BLOW them" and he smirked at me. So.. what he didn't know was that I used to work for lawyers and I knew the importance of evidence to prove a case.. so I kept notes and tucked them in my eyeglass case, every time he said something and walked back to his huge private office. Finally the day came when I had to quit cuz he got subpoenaed to court and I knew I couldn't stay any longer. When we had a meeting with his and my lawyer.. and they saw all my notes, with details from each day.. they were speechless and decided to settle the case. I was awarded a $35,000 settlement! I noticed he was finally the one who was humiliated when his son found out what he was doing! Justice was served! I could have asked for much more money.. but I didn't! I pray this testimony helps someone! God bless.

The law sometimes creates tortured logic. In California and for title vii there's an enumeration of many 'protected' classes so instead of being parsimonious and making harassment in the workplace illegal we create all these distinctions. It's actually outrageous yet we are asked as employees to accept this nonsense. The European Union does better on laws against workplace harassment and stress that causes illness. The other maddening thing is as attorneys do this work over time they lose any sense of the irony in participating in a system designed to confuse and confound employees...

Now the staff are targeted with the exception to one of the employees that has a personal relationship with that provider. This has created an uncomfortable, and walking on eggshells environment. :(

What about smaller employers? My ex employer has less than 15 employees and the owner seems to feel that she can do whatever she wants without repercussion. It's crazy the things that she's done as if she's invisible. I have a mountain of documentation to prove all allegations but cannot locate an attorney in my state. Guess I'll be in the law library working this case myself..

The monkey gets the walking papers and the alpha bully continues with their rain of terror because according to the company they don’t want to get rid of the golden goose.

Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing once again, I don't know all the managers ect like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums win ever win.

There is not one item you said in here that doesn’t accurately describe the importance of what I’m currently experiencing. I’ve always been afraid, and these employers know this about me and continue to ignore it when I ask for basic reasonable accommodations due to my several illnesses, including some rare ones you mentioned I see and experience regularly I didn’t know about - punitive with fraud, etc. This was the first time someone was able to articulate my situation, and now I see the severity of it. It’s hard when you are constantly being gaslit by your employer and lose your sense of self and trust. Nonetheless, I realized how bad my circumstances are, and even now after everything that has been done to me, I am afraid to even broach the issue. Although your videos clearly showed me how dire and accurate my work circumstances are, I am still afraid. But thank you for at least letting me know I am not “crazy.” Ugh, this is bad. Now I really don’t know what to do. They are essentially sending me out to “sea to die”. Crap. I legitimately realize now that I need guidance and help.

I was fired after 4 years of employment because I said I couldn't trust my manager. That's exactly what he told me when he let me go. If you don't have proof it's pointless. Towards the end my boss wrote me up and said I couldn't send emails anymore basically because I was making them nervous. Just quit and go somewhere else. Your mental health will thank you

She kept antagonizing me, followed me into the store yelling at me embarrassing me in front of customers and other co workers. She then came charging toward me and other co-workers and customers were holding her back. The whole time i was telling her i didnt want to argue with her. Is this grounds for cantacting a lawyer?

I took it to our other manager and the head boss for the whole company... i was cut off everytime I tried to explain the situation or how I felt. I was accused of stealing over $200 out of a register. When i asked her to watch the cameras she told me she doesnt have time to watch hours worth of cameras. I told her i refuse to be accused of stealing because a paper said so when theres cameras right above the register. After telling me she didnt want to hear it I told them i dont feel comfortable working around her and i believe she should be fired. They said if they fire her they would have to fire me. For what? I didnt do anything. Thats wrongful termination. She said she can only schedule me one day a week and if I want anymore hours than that i will have to get them at another store. Why is the other person not being transferred instead of me? After that conversation she called management at the other store I work at and told them that I said a bunch of things i didnt say. So now its conflict at my other job - WITH THE SAME COMPANY - how should i go about this?

Contact an attorney immediately! Unless you have had performances issues addressed and documented, a reasonable person would consider it retaliation for reporting the incident to HR.

It depends on why the coworker acted in a threatening manner towards you. If it was because of a protected characteristic, then maybe. If it was because of something unprotected, then no. When I say a "hostile work environment" I'm always referring to the legal definition. Yes, people act "hostile" at work all the time, but that doesn't necessarily meant it meets the legal definition or that you/the victim should take legal action.
