How Much Money is a Hostile Work Environment Case Worth?

[@kumainkana3576]

If you’re being harassed by your boss or someone in management. First: document everything the evidence. Time and date. And the location when it happened 2nd: make sure you are right and not overreacting. 3rd: you have to report. Report in H.R every single time.they keep the records if they called you in court and they didn’t do anything about it. You won. 4th: keep documenting if you are still being harassed or bully. 5th: call a lawyer 6th: sue them.

At work not everyone is Equal, some are ABUSED while others get away with murder. People ABUSE People and that will never change until everyone in the workplace changes it.

I'm in Colorado & thinking about bringing a lawsuit against Walmart for various reasons, but main reason is a male co-worker threatened to fight me & rushed up to me, playing chicken. I have dates, places & times, not to mention camera proof & all of it is documented. Walmart said an investigation was going on, but I don't believe them. I was separated from my Dept most days & I was stressed &/or crying every morning getting ready for work. I finally handed in my two week notice yesterday after seeing the perpetrator stay, yet again, in my Dept & I had to leave. After 18 days, no resolution, no disciplinary action for my co-worker. After handing in my notice, I was terminated an hour & a half later. Now my livelihood is gone; stress & unhappiness remains, evil people keep their job & good people ran off. Can this work in my favor???

When I was working for a Care Home I was treated so unfairly and it was a hostile environment. Not only that but sexual harassment was happening to me almost every day. On top of that my fiance passed away and the owner of the company knew about everything. Fiance passing away and how I was being treated. So of course nothing was done. I decided to start making notes about everything I went through. Everyday I'd go home with something new. They ended up firing me. I'm glad I got a attorney who is willing to help me out. ❤️

[@joshuagilliam8742]

I appreciate this video. I’m a young adult in my mid 20’s and I waited 6mo to get a promotion to manager after being promised the role. When officially offered the position I shook on a raise and accepted. This was witnessed by another manager between my GM and I. Then that GM was fired but the new temp GM, our DM, promised to move me up ASAP. Month or so later I finally am offered the role again, but now had to agree to a lesser wage. I negotiated for .25/hr (1.00 less per hour than previous) Mind you I was already passed up for manager by an employee with NO experience who started after me. Yesterday my co-manager team ambushed me with a one-sided meeting to address concerns specifically with me that were provably untrue and ripe with hypocrisy. I then tried to tenure my resignation with a two weeks notice and the newest temp GM (DM’s former boss and brother) and I was criticized further for allowing their unprofessional and completely offensive meeting to push me over the edge and try to peacefully bow out of my position. I have cited that I feel my workplace was hostile and toxic before and go out of my way to accommodate my fellow managers as well as motivate and congratulate my staff on their noteworthy accomplishments. I feel like I don’t owe this company anything anymore but I worked really hard to get where I am and pushed past over half a year of promises of growth before I got it. Lol even still, I havent recieved the proper manager uniform or the fair pay for my past experiences and time put into my company. I’ve been under multiple DM’s, several GM’s and before my promotion a sizable amount of Managers. With my experience shared, what should I do? Should I pursue hostile work environment or would I be better off walking away and attempting to find better/equal work? If I do pursue a case, based on the small amount of details I’ve shared, what is your opinion on the merit and value to doing so?

I need this question answered is there anway that if you are going through a lawsuit and u decide to get a job will that take away from your lawsuite settlement?

[@braniganrobertsonlaw]

Great question. Generally, the answer is yes, in part. New wages offset your economic losses from the unlawful act of your former employer. But it only affects one type of damages (economic damages). Emotional distress and punitive damages are unaffected. PLEASE TAKE NOTE - If someone are offered a comparable job and they turn it down (because they are trying to maximize their lawsuit settlement) the jury/arbitrator can decide to aware him/her zero damages. So, the moral of the story is, people cannot sit at home eating potato chips and refuse to look for a job. They need to get out there and find a new job, or show that they are earnestly looking for a new job, in order for the Court to award full economic damages.
