Hostile Work Environment
At Work Lawyers PC, we are experienced in fighting for the employment rights of all California employees. California law protects employees from a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment can be created by an employer, boss or a coworker who acts in a way that is unreasonably uncomfortable for the workplace.
Common Examples of a Hostile Work Environment
- Sexual comments about your appearance
- Racist comments about you or others
- Negative comments about a medical injury you have suffered
- Discriminatory comments about someone’s age
- Discriminatory comments about someone’s political beliefs
- Harassing or comments bullying someone for various protected activities under California law
- Constantly threatening people with violence or termination of their work
- Making unwelcome “jokes” or comments about sensitive topics such as their appearance, sexuality or other protected classes under the law

The purpose of these anti-hostility and toxic workplace laws is to promote a safe and welcoming workplace where people are not being bullied.
Employers who violate the law can be liable to their employees for substantial amounts of money if they are found to have committed discrimination. Work Lawyers PC has collected millions of dollars on behalf of California employees.
