I asked about hostile work environments and received a reply stating if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. A hostile work environment may include a constructive discharge which means management puts enough pressure on an employee that they quite; an illegal act! This may be considered as a constructive discharge. A work separation can affect unemployment and disability benefits an expense to management. Employers would prefer a person quits which may result in the quieter not getting benefits. Employers will create a bad work environment so the employee leaves. Any comments?

It occurrs all over the country. There should be better trainings to employees informing them of their rights as well as how to spot hostile working conditions. This takes place in a lot of professions, more so now than years past due to incompetance of the employer not the employees. The employers usually are way over their head and can't dealwith such pressures......

A hostile work environment is not necessarily illegal. Your job or place of employment might not be the most pleasant environment, but the conduct must be specifically illegal in order for you to take legal action.

Only that this is very prevelant and very unfortuneate. To bad there isn't an easier way of enforcing this than a long drawn out legal battle.
