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
Boss move!!! Good for you! Who's your attorney if you don't mind me asking? I need a badass attorney to do that with Abso Lutely Productions and Adult Swim. The things they have been doing to actor David Liebe Hart are horrific and abusive. He needs a shark born swimming attorney like this.
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.
Absolutely I’m so sorry you had to go through that treatment. I’m dealing with a difficult employee & a jealous co-manager who’s upset with me because I don’t meet her for a briefing; instead I read her notes before shift.
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!!
Thank you, I have dealt with management harassment on a daily basis, due to a work injury for nearly a year. I dread work. I've been documenting everything and have a handful of witnesses. This video has helped me a lot. I filed a complaint tonight, fingers crossed.
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”
Well, I hope this worked out for you. If you worked in a restaurant, I would guess everything was on video. That idiot clapping in your face would have been caught, at the least.
Exactly especially when FLMA is involved and your wife after 25yrs passes away and your suicidal unable to want to work so try taken a leave and your fired
@@heartbeat2961 Unfortunately, they will do whatever it takes to protect the agency, company, managers and themselves. Sometimes they are the puppet masters pulling the strings. With that being said, be careful what you tell them because they don't have your best interest at heart.
I work in a hostile environment and there is no cure for it. If you are unlucky enough to be targeted, you have to options: take it and shut up or quit and move on.
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.
I have been spending hours and days researching this stuff and you gave it all to me in a matter of minutes. I am pissed😠😬😲 I am just now seeing your videos.😔 Thanks!
What if I am in HR, and the supervisor who handles grievances will not document or address the situation because the coworker causing the hostility is her friend?
My boss only hires his close friends and family to supervise with him. They all cover each other asses! HR is also in bed with them. The amount of grievances my department has should call for a class action lawsuit. But everyone is intimidated by the size of our organization.
@@Angela-cd9bj Oh yes.....this is great. My company I work for has presented me with a termination letter because they say I went over my attendance points. I am also on FMLA and have used this for these " points " they are saying I got. I know they got them because they were approved by bot the company and FMLA. Yet they emailed me saying were going to have a meeting. I emailed them back asking what the meeting was going to be about and do I need my film representative. They never responded . I went in. I didn't sign the letter. Went home and have not been to work in a month and have been building my own case having to back track emails, texts, phone calls, etc. Then I get a message saying , " oh you know what " We would like to reinstate your employment. Yet they won't tell me why. I know its cause I fought it and they messed up and won't tell me why. My manager also told me to stop emailing HR and he would be dealing with it from here on out. I need to stop emailing ev
everyone else, meaning HR and the big big plant manager. The one that tried to get me fired. My HR is also on guy in Chicago. Not even where we are in Kansas City. I have emailed to HR guy and called him so many times in this past month and he has not responded all. I am just so annoyed and wonder if I should look into legal assistance. Thats so shady for the guy to tell me to not email HR anymore or the big wig. They are shady as hell.
Thank you Branigan! I shared this with friends who are in very Histile environments where neither Supervisors Union Reps or HR are being helpful in resolving the Hostility. Consequently this affects the daily workflow of patient care. Very sad wgen this Co. prides itself in up-holding a high standard "Code of Conduct".
just experienced weirdo manager harrassed me last year, I confronted him cause I wasnt having it and they denied and lied. Now I know better and next time I run into these high level weirdos again, I'm getting it on camera and exposing them. Never again will I make this mistake.
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.
This is helpful as I am being harassed at work as a new employee now at 6 weeks. This guy told me he had a Glock 40 in his truck for me. I need my job and the pay. I’m just trying to stay away from him. Why are people so crazy at work now.
@@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.
@@GreyGhost-r4z Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to give us a full update!! I’m so happy you’re ok, despite having gone through that brutal experience!! It’s amazing how toxicity and bad leadership spread like cancer in organizations of all sizes. Thank you for bringing up specific ways this stuff can present itself. Take care of yourself. I hope you are very happy now!! ❤️
@@Lukronius Thanks Luke ! After I left that Negative Vortex, the pressure relief was immediate. As bad as it was it opened my mind to recognize bad work situations that much quicker. I am better informed now. 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.
Thanks Brannigan I have a Department of labor (DIR) hearing against my employer in an hour just trying to brush up if things get more severe I’ll call you
Hello sir, Your videos are very helpfull and changed my view on this situation. I changed rhetorics in my complains to HR about sub-optimal work enviroment in my work. Thanks for your viewpoints and advices. Sometimes a man just needs a push... Thank you very much! Sending best regards from Slovakia (EU).
I'm here to get a clear understanding of this law (I had an experience by a new team leader harsh micromanaging, "pretexting", etc. and now after years of working there - no longer allowed).
The agency will throw timeliness right back in your face. Make your claims and allegations within the required time limit. Please! Also, please keep all your emails and texts too.
i just received a call back from your office, i am hoping you can help, i started following you in nov 2023 once i felt my job was at risk, after i complained to HR, filed for FMLA, workmans comp, all leadig to being let go, your videos have helped me build a case. recommend everyone watches and learns their rights even if there is no current issue at the job/office, as ppl can turn on a dime, co-workers are not your freinds nor is HR as attorney mentions in all his videos. good luck all, appreicate this channel.
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...
I’m a vendor dealing with a hostile work environment from a GM on a power trip. She takes before pictures and says work is incomplete when we haven’t done it or started for the day, makes up OSHA violations with our equipment, puffs out her chest and tries to assert her dominance on everyone on a daily basis. Corporate will do nothing about her
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.
@Ena Thank you so much for validating my position. Everything you outlined makes perfect sense. Things have gotten better, but I still feel like I”m working under a microscope and I’m starting to feel bad about myself which I don’t think is fair. Expectations are constantly changing, even after mastering the issues you got written up for.
Thank you for this video. We had employees complained on inappropriate racial comments made by a medical provider. After written complaints received for almost two years, the provider who those complaints were made about, the provider turns around and files a complaint of working in a hostile environment against the 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. :(
Age shouldn't be confined only to people that are 40+. Young people experience age discrimination too! I was fired for being too young when I was legally allowed to work. I was over 18. This happened in Canada.
Yup! Cafeteria supposedly needs an accommodation form to eat some vegan food, from the cafe menu. Being vegan is not just an accommodation, but it's my belief/ & an allergy against meat. If I only ask, for a salad this becomes a great issue between supervisor's at times. Other times they let me eat my salad without an accommodation form. Now I make sure I eat before I go to work. -And one time this hr person harassed me, due to my water bottle not being clear enough. That I was advertising a vegan lifestyle, I told her that those were my favorite vegan stickers on my green clear water jug. I reported her, and soon enough she backed off.
My coworker physically attacked me (caused permanent hearing damage) let off a cheetah (fill a semi truck tire and makes a bang sound as loud as a gun) next to me without warning and no ppe on. There was no tire.
What I’ve seen is that most people in a supervisor role or another role usually uses flying monkeys to do their dirty work. They offer protection but if the monkey gets caught guess what happens. 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.

The main problem I see is that if you aren't a protected class, then the harassment is ok? Working with women is generally a nightmare, especially in office settings where there are 3 women. It seems like inevitably two will team up against the third one and start bullying and harassing her.
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.
Damn. I feel like I was harassed at my last job at a school district. My circumstances are unbelievable. But it’s been 2 years now. I think I missed the statute of limitations…
? If there is inequity of work meaning when I cover for someone I am asked to do more than they do does that also qualify If I’ve been asked to continue to meet in a meeting with a harasser despite my objections to these meetings (as I’ve been harassed belittled in these meetings) does that qualify? Thanks
My company uses a drive cam in my co. car. They set up a point system that was so strict that it is not a question of if you will be fired but a matter of when. Creating a hostile environment, incredibly stressful situation. That I actually could not see straight trying not to set off this camera. Could I have a case?
What about an employer-a director of admissions who brutally screams and curses out employees to the point that they cry and go into shock, with no regard if they are pregnant?
What happens if I still suffer PSTD from what happened while I was employed and can still hear my loan officer yelling at me in my head. Its because of him and have anxiety attacks when I hear a male yelling.
Imagine working for a company that lowers attendance on review score for serving in the miltary. The company also had a policy not to give perfect attendance awards or bonus for this as well. Still working for them but is it military discrimination? From our HR said theyre following federal guidelines
I know people sue and win. But most employment is at will. If you fall under the protected characteristics the employer will be careful to fire you for something ridiculous. 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
What about my manager telling coworkers about how much was my pay? I only send my commission pay to him through email. I asked him that how they know exactly the amount of money.
I am a woman working 8months in this place. My supervisor took the position after a month that I was employed. I don't know if I can have a case for the short time that I been there. But he doesn't like me and treats me unfair, allways settings me for failure
These videos are very helpful. Just one question, I had a supervisor hit me with his clipboard out of anger and I reported it to HR and about a week later, I was fired. Is there a case?
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. I would go so for as to file a police report for battery, as well. You can request charges be filed against the supervisor. The company is liable for the supervisor's deplorable actions.
I did try to stop ✋️ the Harrassments. I even went to EEOC Daniel Nance because Blyth and Monica had threatened and bullied to resign. The used scare tactics, verbal outrageous beatdowns, Defamation of Character Libel, false accusations, Fraud, and oppression to intimidate me to resign. Blyth, Monica, and John interrogated me, as the pointed their fingers and angerly stated, "We are going to make an example [ wipping boy out of you to help keep the others [implied "N Word"] in line. "ADMIT THAT YOU TOLD SHERWIN THAT BLYTH CALLED YOU A NXXXER!"
My manager came to my car yesterday harrassing me trying to get in my car. I told her through the window i didnt want to talk. 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?
If my employer is doing dishonest and somewhat maybe illegal practices. Can i claim that i am bhuddist and being forced to participate would be harrasment?
I had acid poured on my car at work.i never feel valued and I never complain to hr on anyone due to I'm the only one in my sector.i work alone.however men constantly are lying deflecting and trying to get me fired by saying untrue things.ive tried hr.they don't take anything serious. A man tried to fight me over a parking spot.yes,I am good at my job.am I valued NOT TO ANYONE but the owner who is never there and is probably told lies.im fedup and don't know how to deal with the abuse.
So I work in a place that has adults with disabilities but it’s not actually harassing me per se, but it’s harassing a group of people, and there’s 2 supervisors especially one who was screaming on the top of her lungs and was threatening us to tell on us on the higher ups about it… would that be considered workplace harassment?
How do i make a good legal case with the evidence i have been collecting in many different areas of my life. For one hacking and intercepting my phone call.
one of my co workers was using the toilet and he was sprayed with water and he started flinging his own human excrement around. which is a felony. i would have been furious if that was anywhere near me. it’s a hostile work environment and he proceeded to cut a clients hair after touching his own excrement. i am disgusted and suffering from anxiety in the workplace and i can obtain medical records . im in los angeles
i live in Ca, and this is going on at my company the harassing is everyday towards myself as i have a mental disbility and work 20 hours per week due to being on social security disbility could use some help
I’ve been lied about at work and now my managers have been following me around and randomly popping up. I keep my head down and keep working but this is personal and I’m not sure whom to pin this to!?
I needed a lawyer in 2010 for this very thing. So what do I do now? I need to get my EMT certification up to date and get back to work. Fear of reprisal is why I don't.
I tried to find a lawyer to sue the revenge porn sites and my ex partner that got sentenced to death no one would help me sue and I had to guide the investigations with the police and literally had to get forign intervention to hold them accountable
I seen workplace harassment and stress, that I do not anyone there anymore, they can twist the truth and spin it on you if you are conned set up or compromised.
Wish your were in Florida. I went a hostile work environment and went Covid hit I left cause I can't take the abuse, I try getting a lawyer but no one wanted to take the case because of the company I was trying to fight. So now I'm stuck with PTSD, depression, and trust issues around people.
Hi Brannigan! Can you recommend any attorneys that specialise in sexual harassment in TEXAS? Thank you for the very informative videos. I really like your style. Very sharp guy. Much respect.
I don’t really understand how the Law works here in NEW YORK CITY I talk to a lawyer and the told me if my company wants to fire me the can and I ask how I have 18 working in this company and his response was is Legally
I understand some of the distinctions between unfair and hostile. Can you think about doing a video on job descriptions? When does an employers expectations of responsibilities go beyond unfairness and rise to the level of a hostile workplace. Singling out one employee in a shared job description with more responsibility and more criticism but the same pay.
My sister complained to Hr because a manager called her a mistake and it started to become a problem and it became a hostile work environment for her. and hr did nothing about this.
My job has no HR and the owner called other employees out today to block my car in because I wanted to clock out and go home!! I have the video footage too. Help!
You are always saying I should call a lawyer, but I have no idea how to find a good lawyer that works in the area of employment law. When I try, I find lawyers that help employers with employment law. How can I find lawyers that help employees? I don't live in CA.
I was harassed by another employee and filed a complaint with HR and was forced to resign while my harasser gets a verbal warning…EEOC Guam HAS dropped my charge because the investigator is incompetent and very ignorant!….Pls advise my next step
What about subtle harassment or bullying..? it's the classic situation in which your boss pretends to be your friend and he give you his trust and earns your trust and when suddenly something fails he blame you, degrade you, insult you even with profanity in front of everybody saying you bunch of mofos, the boss very narcissistic sabotaging on purpose your job breathing on your neck every 3 minutes, the boss that is not transparent, if you place things in order he do the mess again to give you the order to fix it again and again, the boss that promote the most laziest employees as the employee if the year while the most productive employees he punishes them with more work and more work until the employee quits the job..? The boss that has his personal employee pets, covering them smoking marihuana in the premises and NOT discipline them at all jointly with human resources, favoritism and nepotism in the premises with some of his favorites worsts employees but mistreating the most best productive employees..? The boss that shows late everyday and let his pets favorite employees to show late everyday..? The boss that uses all his power to set you up, the boss that wants you to fail to make you look incompetent, the boss that loves to delay operations and productivity on purpose and fails to delegate chores, a boss that ignores you making you feel that you are the fifth person behind nobody although you are the most productive employee while he glorify the worst employees..? this demoralize you and demotivates you, what you can say about this situation..? Am dealing with this everyday, I wrote my dissertation as a final exam and I get my masters degree as a business consultant professional writing and documenting in silence during 5 years the patron of behavior of my boss or general manager, what you can say about it..? Explain to me what we can do the millions of persons in this situation. ? thanks for your help and greetings from Virginia, The United States of America.
So if you have a coworker who acted in a threatening manner towards you multiple times and the company did not take action, would that also be considered a hostile work environment?
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.
@@braniganrobertsonlawI'm from Canada. What is your advice? Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years.

If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. 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.
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
Who was your lawyer? Was this in CA?
Please provide the lawyer info and if they are in California
Congratulations!!!
Boss move!!! Good for you! Who's your attorney if you don't mind me asking? I need a badass attorney to do that with Abso Lutely Productions and Adult Swim. The things they have been doing to actor David Liebe Hart are horrific and abusive. He needs a shark born swimming attorney like this.
@@TheButterygoodness Thank you!!! God bless! 🙏
My entire work place is basically a hostile toxic environment and HR is apart of their sceme it’s like they part of their own little group.
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.
Those older female managers are very moody. Even women tell me about these types of managers. And many of them are in HR. Miserable people.
How do those things even get into management positions?
Absolutely I’m so sorry you had to go through that treatment. I’m dealing with a difficult employee & a jealous co-manager who’s upset with me because I don’t meet her for a briefing; instead I read her notes before shift.
@@truethought7288long hair and makeup…that’s the clean version
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 hope you get Justic from these monsters
Oh yea, the “report to HR flip it on you” situation. I’ve def had this happen. Lawyers unflip it real quick lol. They don’t think you’ll do it.
Thank you, I have dealt with management harassment on a daily basis, due to a work injury for nearly a year. I dread work. I've been documenting everything and have a handful of witnesses. This video has helped me a lot. I filed a complaint tonight, fingers crossed.
Good for you! They don’t think you’ll do it
Let us know what happened.
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”
I'd make those aholes fire me and pay unemployment.
Older women are just moody and jealous of younger women.
@@LIVdaBrandreally lol naw not really it’s hard enough being young once
Well, I hope this worked out for you. If you worked in a restaurant, I would guess everything was on video. That idiot clapping in your face would have been caught, at the least.
I'd keep my phone in my pocket and record this stuff as it happens. You can't use it in court, but you can use it to show HR what happens.
A lot of people in HR and management don't know what they are doing or how to resolve minor problems. Clueless!
Same here
Exactly especially when FLMA is involved and your wife after 25yrs passes away and your suicidal unable to want to work so try taken a leave and your fired
Because they are deeply ignorant on working laws or they simply do not care about your rights and they keep going
Someone told me once that HR is never at the worker or associate side they are always in the company side
@@heartbeat2961 Unfortunately, they will do whatever it takes to protect the agency, company, managers and themselves. Sometimes they are the puppet masters pulling the strings. With that being said, be careful what you tell them because they don't have your best interest at heart.
I work in a hostile environment and there is no cure for it. If you are unlucky enough to be targeted, you have to options: take it and shut up or quit and move on.
Or switch work site soon as possible.
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.
@@Punisher1830I know someone that is going through this now and they switched work sites and it did not help.
@@vallang4832 have wear where a hidden canera on their shirt.
I was told there's the door
I have been spending hours and days researching this stuff and you gave it all to me in a matter of minutes. I am pissed😠😬😲 I am just now seeing your videos.😔 Thanks!
What if I am in HR, and the supervisor who handles grievances will not document or address the situation because the coworker causing the hostility is her friend?
My boss only hires his close friends and family to supervise with him. They all cover each other asses!
HR is also in bed with them. The amount of grievances my department has should call for a class action lawsuit. But everyone is intimidated by the size of our organization.
You will likely need to seek legal assistance outside of employer parameters.
@@Angela-cd9bj Oh yes.....this is great. My company I work for has presented me with a termination letter because they say I went over my attendance points. I am also on FMLA and have used this for these " points " they are saying I got. I know they got them because they were approved by bot the company and FMLA. Yet they emailed me saying were going to have a meeting. I emailed them back asking what the meeting was going to be about and do I need my film representative. They never responded . I went in. I didn't sign the letter. Went home and have not been to work in a month and have been building my own case having to back track emails, texts, phone calls, etc.
Then I get a message saying , " oh you know what " We would like to reinstate your employment. Yet they won't tell me why. I know its cause I fought it and they messed up and won't tell me why. My manager also told me to stop emailing HR and he would be dealing with it from here on out. I need to stop emailing ev
everyone else, meaning HR and the big big plant manager. The one that tried to get me fired. My HR is also on guy in Chicago. Not even where we are in Kansas City. I have emailed to HR guy and called him so many times in this past month and he has not responded all.
I am just so annoyed and wonder if I should look into legal assistance.
Thats so shady for the guy to tell me to not email HR anymore or the big wig. They are shady as hell.
❤❤@@ameliacastano5072
Thank you Branigan! I shared this with friends who are in very Histile environments where neither Supervisors Union Reps or HR are being helpful in resolving the Hostility. Consequently this affects the daily workflow of patient care. Very sad wgen this Co. prides itself in up-holding a high standard "Code of Conduct".
I’m finding these videos very helpful.
just experienced weirdo manager harrassed me last year, I confronted him cause I wasnt having it and they denied and lied. Now I know better and next time I run into these high level weirdos again, I'm getting it on camera and exposing them. Never again will I make this mistake.
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.
Do a video about Unions and collective agreements
They’re protected Federal classes he seems to have omitted on purpose. He or his firm want nothing to do with union representation it appears.
Those work for the company not you they choose whom they fight for it's very political
Yes because unions are useless and I want to know if you can sue a union for not representing us when we need it.
Apx. 30 years ago, my uncle was awarded 300k over what his attorney was asking for because of how egregious the case was.
We were floored.
wtf happened?
This is helpful as I am being harassed at work as a new employee now at 6 weeks. This guy told me he had a Glock 40 in his truck for me. I need my job and the pay. I’m just trying to stay away from him. Why are people so crazy at work now.
That’s awful! Are you still at this job? How did things end up turning out? Hope you’re well!!
@@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.
@@GreyGhost-r4z Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to give us a full update!! I’m so happy you’re ok, despite having gone through that brutal experience!! It’s amazing how toxicity and bad leadership spread like cancer in organizations of all sizes. Thank you for bringing up specific ways this stuff can present itself. Take care of yourself. I hope you are very happy now!! ❤️
@@Lukronius Thanks Luke ! After I left that Negative Vortex, the pressure relief was immediate. As bad as it was it opened my mind to recognize bad work situations that much quicker. I am better informed now. 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.
Worst story I heard was a Glock Dookie🫘🔫🤮
Thanks Brannigan I have a Department of labor (DIR) hearing against my employer in an hour just trying to brush up if things get more severe I’ll call you
Hello sir, Your videos are very helpfull and changed my view on this situation. I changed rhetorics in my complains to HR about sub-optimal work enviroment in my work. Thanks for your viewpoints and advices. Sometimes a man just needs a push... Thank you very much! Sending best regards from Slovakia (EU).
I'm here to get a clear understanding of this law (I had an experience by a new team leader harsh micromanaging, "pretexting", etc. and now after years of working there - no longer allowed).
The agency will throw timeliness right back in your face. Make your claims and allegations within the required time limit. Please! Also, please keep all your emails and texts too.
More hostile work environment videos!!
i just received a call back from your office, i am hoping you can help, i started following you in nov 2023 once i felt my job was at risk, after i complained to HR, filed for FMLA, workmans comp, all leadig to being let go, your videos have helped me build a case. recommend everyone watches and learns their rights even if there is no current issue at the job/office, as ppl can turn on a dime, co-workers are not your freinds nor is HR as attorney mentions in all his videos. good luck all, appreicate this channel.
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...
I’m a vendor dealing with a hostile work environment from a GM on a power trip. She takes before pictures and says work is incomplete when we haven’t done it or started for the day, makes up OSHA violations with our equipment, puffs out her chest and tries to assert her dominance on everyone on a daily basis. Corporate will do nothing about her
Are you the owner of the company?
TH-cam needs to get your vids out more. I could have used a lot of info you just gave earlier. DARN IT!
Thank you , for your help and support 🇺🇸
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.
Document, document, document
I have been written up twice in 6 months after NEVER having gotten written up in 5 yrs. I’m being targeted and the expectations are impossible to meet
@Ena Thank you so much for validating my position. Everything you outlined makes perfect sense. Things have gotten better, but I still feel like I”m working under a microscope and I’m starting to feel bad about myself which I don’t think is fair. Expectations are constantly changing, even after mastering the issues you got written up for.
Great video! The explanations were perfect and easy to understand without all of the legal jargon. I will be reaching out soon. Thanks
Thank you for this video. We had employees complained on inappropriate racial comments made by a medical provider. After written complaints received for almost two years, the provider who those complaints were made about, the provider turns around and files a complaint of working in a hostile environment against the 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. :(
Writing book on hostile work environment. This video was very specific and informative...
Excellent work.
Thank you for all you do!
Your passion shows!
Age shouldn't be confined only to people that are 40+. Young people experience age discrimination too! I was fired for being too young when I was legally allowed to work. I was over 18. This happened in Canada.
Yup! Cafeteria supposedly needs an accommodation form to eat some vegan food, from the cafe menu. Being vegan is not just an accommodation, but it's my belief/ & an allergy against meat. If I only ask, for a salad this becomes a great issue between supervisor's at times. Other times they let me eat my salad without an accommodation form. Now I make sure I eat before I go to work. -And one time this hr person harassed me, due to my water bottle not being clear enough. That I was advertising a vegan lifestyle, I told her that those were my favorite vegan stickers on my green clear water jug. I reported her, and soon enough she backed off.
My coworker physically attacked me (caused permanent hearing damage) let off a cheetah (fill a semi truck tire and makes a bang sound as loud as a gun) next to me without warning and no ppe on. There was no tire.
What I’ve seen is that most people in a supervisor role or another role usually uses flying monkeys to do their dirty work. They offer protection but if the monkey gets caught guess what happens. 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.

The main problem I see is that if you aren't a protected class, then the harassment is ok? Working with women is generally a nightmare, especially in office settings where there are 3 women. It seems like inevitably two will team up against the third one and start bullying and harassing her.
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.
Damn. I feel like I was harassed at my last job at a school district. My circumstances are unbelievable. But it’s been 2 years now. I think I missed the statute of limitations…
? If there is inequity of work meaning when I cover for someone I am asked to do more than they do does that also qualify
If I’ve been asked to continue to meet in a meeting with a harasser despite my objections to these meetings (as I’ve been harassed belittled in these meetings) does that qualify? Thanks
What if the person doing all the harassment is the Owner of the company? And what if they are doing other things to try to make you quit
You probably should leave.
U should sue
@@ganymeade5151 You document document document and you only leave if you feel your safety is jeopardized.
My company uses a drive cam in my co. car. They set up a point system that was so strict that it is not a question of if you will be fired but a matter of when. Creating a hostile environment, incredibly stressful situation. That I actually could not see straight trying not to set off this camera. Could I have a case?
What about an employer-a director of admissions who brutally screams and curses out employees to the point that they cry and go into shock, with no regard if they are pregnant?
What happens if I still suffer PSTD from what happened while I was employed and can still hear my loan officer yelling at me in my head. Its because of him and have anxiety attacks when I hear a male yelling.
Imagine working for a company that lowers attendance on review score for serving in the miltary. The company also had a policy not to give perfect attendance awards or bonus for this as well.
Still working for them but is it military discrimination?
From our HR said theyre following federal guidelines
🙂🙂Thank you! very much Brannigan for this video.👌🏽👌🏽
I know people sue and win. But most employment is at will. If you fall under the protected characteristics the employer will be careful to fire you for something ridiculous. 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
Thank you for your videos and intelligence, i wish you were in Las. Vegas . As i am going to talk to lawyers about sueing the Biggest club out here .
What about my manager telling coworkers about how much was my pay? I only send my commission pay to him through email. I asked him that how they know exactly the amount of money.
This vs them saying I was only doing my job. Ya understand.....
I am a woman working 8months in this place. My supervisor took the position after a month that I was employed. I don't know if I can have a case for the short time that I been there. But he doesn't like me and treats me unfair, allways settings me for failure
These videos are very helpful. Just one question, I had a supervisor hit me with his clipboard out of anger and I reported it to HR and about a week later, I was fired. Is there a case?
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. I would go so for as to file a police report for battery, as well. You can request charges be filed against the supervisor. The company is liable for the supervisor's deplorable actions.
What about pretextual termination after asking for ADA accommodations for physical (mobility issues) and mental health issues.
I made multiple verbal complaints because that is what PRL in-house EOC Fair to You Amanda Costello instructed and also encouraged by HR Sarah Bilton.

The used scare tactics, verbal outrageous beatdowns, Defamation of Character Libel, false accusations, Fraud, and oppression to intimidate me to resign. Blyth, Monica, and John interrogated me, as the pointed their fingers and angerly stated, "We are going to make an example [ wipping boy out of you to help keep the others [implied "N Word"] in line. "ADMIT THAT YOU TOLD SHERWIN THAT BLYTH CALLED YOU A NXXXER!"

My manager came to my car yesterday harrassing me trying to get in my car. I told her through the window i didnt want to talk. 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?
Why tell me i have to get my hours at another store and then call them and cause conflict? Now i have to look for another job
I have a question what if a coworker is making the hostel work place I am having that happening now I hot sent home without a wirte up at all
If my employer is doing dishonest and somewhat maybe illegal practices. Can i claim that i am bhuddist and being forced to participate would be harrasment?
I had acid poured on my car at work.i never feel valued and I never complain to hr on anyone due to I'm the only one in my sector.i work alone.however men constantly are lying deflecting and trying to get me fired by saying untrue things.ive tried hr.they don't take anything serious. A man tried to fight me over a parking spot.yes,I am good at my job.am I valued NOT TO ANYONE but the owner who is never there and is probably told lies.im fedup and don't know how to deal with the abuse.
So I work in a place that has adults with disabilities but it’s not actually harassing me per se, but it’s harassing a group of people, and there’s 2 supervisors especially one who was screaming on the top of her lungs and was threatening us to tell on us on the higher ups about it… would that be considered workplace harassment?
Thank you!
Welcome. :)
How do i make a good legal case with the evidence i have been collecting in many different areas of my life. For one hacking and intercepting my phone call.
2 management team members in my current workplace were upset pregnant colleagues stop pushing furniture around!!!
one of my co workers was using the toilet and he was sprayed with water and he started flinging his own human excrement around. which is a felony. i would have been furious if that was anywhere near me. it’s a hostile work environment and he proceeded to cut a clients hair after touching his own excrement. i am disgusted and suffering from anxiety in the workplace and i can obtain medical records . im in los angeles
im also suffering from documented homophobia
too late now, but the same conditions still exist to permit various employees "exempt/special"
Great content!!! I’ve learned a lot from your channel thanks
What if the employer doesn’t show for the hearing?
If an employer doesn't respond to a lawsuit, administrative charge, or something similar, a default judgment will probably be entered against them.
i live in Ca, and this is going on at my company the harassing is everyday towards myself as i have a mental disbility and work 20 hours per week due to being on social security disbility could use some help
Who can I contact in Virginia,I’m in this situation right now.I have no safety,attendance,productive ,accuracy issues.
I’ve been lied about at work and now my managers have been following me around and randomly popping up. I keep my head down and keep working but this is personal and I’m not sure whom to pin this to!?
I needed a lawyer in 2010 for this very thing. So what do I do now? I need to get my EMT certification up to date and get back to work. Fear of reprisal is why I don't.
I tried to find a lawyer to sue the revenge porn sites and my ex partner that got sentenced to death no one would help me sue and I had to guide the investigations with the police and literally had to get forign intervention to hold them accountable
Might as well just go to harbor School this is a lot to take in. Thank you so much though 😊
Can’t put in a written complaint. HR usually is part of it.
They are the biggest bullies.
I seen workplace harassment and stress, that I do not anyone there anymore, they can twist the truth and spin it on you if you are conned set up or compromised.
Left in 2020 because of a hostile environment and being denied fmla. I waited to long to report.
Wish your were in Florida. I went a hostile work environment and went Covid hit I left cause I can't take the abuse, I try getting a lawyer but no one wanted to take the case because of the company I was trying to fight. So now I'm stuck with PTSD, depression, and trust issues around people.
Hi Brannigan! Can you recommend any attorneys that specialise in sexual harassment in TEXAS? Thank you for the very informative videos. I really like your style. Very sharp guy. Much respect.
Thanks! Sorry, I don't know any lawyers in Texas. Ask around. Get on Google. I'm sure there are plenty of good ones.
I don’t really understand how the Law works here in NEW YORK CITY I talk to a lawyer and the told me if my company wants to fire me the can and I ask how I have 18 working in this company and his response was is Legally
What about yelling is this a form of harassment because I was yelled at all the time at my previous and almost fought the boss.
Discrimination is hard to prove.
Great video! Thank you!.
If they have you sign an arbitration agreement can you sue?
I understand some of the distinctions between unfair and hostile. Can you think about doing a video on job descriptions? When does an employers expectations of responsibilities go beyond unfairness and rise to the level of a hostile workplace. Singling out one employee in a shared job description with more responsibility and more criticism but the same pay.
My sister complained to Hr because a manager called her a mistake and it started to become a problem and it became a hostile work environment for her. and hr did nothing about this.
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON VERBAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HARRASSMENT!!!!!!!!!!
My job has no HR and the owner called other employees out today to block my car in because I wanted to clock out and go home!! I have the video footage too. Help!
Is returning to work after FMLA leave a protected characteristic? Currently being disciplined for the most absurd things.
Is it normal for an attorney to charge a $5,000.00 up front to take your case?
You are always saying I should call a lawyer, but I have no idea how to find a good lawyer that works in the area of employment law. When I try, I find lawyers that help employers with employment law. How can I find lawyers that help employees? I don't live in CA.
I was hostilely, egregiously, with prejudiced, persistent, and harrassed to resign or be terminated by Blyth and Monica.
What happens if you work for a California based company, but you yourself are in a different state?
Excellent video. 👏👏👏. What about a prank in a federal organization?
I was harassed by another employee and filed a complaint with HR and was forced to resign while my harasser gets a verbal warning…EEOC Guam HAS dropped my charge because the investigator is incompetent and very ignorant!….Pls advise my next step
What about subtle harassment or bullying..? it's the classic situation in which your boss pretends to be your friend and he give you his trust and earns your trust and when suddenly something fails he blame you, degrade you, insult you even with profanity in front of everybody saying you bunch of mofos, the boss very narcissistic sabotaging on purpose your job breathing on your neck every 3 minutes, the boss that is not transparent, if you place things in order he do the mess again to give you the order to fix it again and again, the boss that promote the most laziest employees as the employee if the year while the most productive employees he punishes them with more work and more work until the employee quits the job..? The boss that has his personal employee pets, covering them smoking marihuana in the premises and NOT discipline them at all jointly with human resources, favoritism and nepotism in the premises with some of his favorites worsts employees but mistreating the most best productive employees..? The boss that shows late everyday and let his pets favorite employees to show late everyday..? The boss that uses all his power to set you up, the boss that wants you to fail to make you look incompetent, the boss that loves to delay operations and productivity on purpose and fails to delegate chores, a boss that ignores you making you feel that you are the fifth person behind nobody although you are the most productive employee while he glorify the worst employees..? this demoralize you and demotivates you, what you can say about this situation..? Am dealing with this everyday, I wrote my dissertation as a final exam and I get my masters degree as a business consultant professional writing and documenting in silence during 5 years the patron of behavior of my boss or general manager, what you can say about it..? Explain to me what we can do the millions of persons in this situation. ? thanks for your help and greetings from Virginia, The United States of America.
I want to know about constructive termination because I can’t take working here anymore. I feel I’m gonna die of a stroke if I stay.
So if you have a coworker who acted in a threatening manner towards you multiple times and the company did not take action, would that also be considered a hostile work environment?
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.
@@braniganrobertsonlawI'm from Canada. What is your advice? 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 me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. 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.
