A hostile work environment occurs when management, supervisors, or coworkers subject an employee to unwelcome conduct based on the employee’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information, and:
-The offensive conduct has essentially become a condition of continued employment, or
-The unwelcome conduct is severe or pervasive such that a reasonable employee would consider it intimidating, hostile, or abusive.
Additionally, retaliation for having participated in a protected action may also give rise to a hostile work environment claim.
At work, have you found yourself subject to:
-Offensive jokes, slurs, epithets, or name calling based on race, gender, age, disability religion or national origin;
-Intimidation, ridicule, or mockery based on race, gender, age, disability religion or national origin;
-Insults or put-downs based on race, gender, age, disability religion, or national origin;
-Offensive objects, jokes or pictures posted in the workplace;
-Physical assaults or threats of physical harm;
-Sexual harassment; or
-Interference with work performance?
