If a Person's Boss Uses the "F" word Incessantly, Knowing it bothers his workers, Can an Employee....

Question

Quit and Collect Unemploymnent until they find another job?
This "boss" curses and uses the "F" word day in and day out. No one seems to be able to stop him. And the hiigher ups do nothing.What are rights of the employee who is subjected to such behavior?

Answer 1

If this boss is creating a hostile work environment, you have every right to report it to your boss's superiors and make a complaint with the EEOC. The boss's bosses won't want the EEOC contacted, if you are going to seriously pursue it, and they should do something about it.

Your being offended or "overly" sensitive does not enter in to it. Don't let those who criticise you get under your skin!

Answer 2

Check with the local state employment office what your rights are. If you quit you will have to prove that he does this. Maybe you can secretly tape his dirty language for evidence. \
I had a boss who was somewhat like that only he would take you in his office and close the door so the others didn't hear how he talked and yelled.
So, I kept a small tape recorder at work. Next time he called me on the carpet, I openly brought it with me, already turned on, and said "I'm sure you don't mind because I want to be able to go over your instructions later to be sure I understand every thing you say."
He was flustered and replied "Sure, ok, sounds like a good idea." After that no more intollerable language from him. He realized I could be recording him any time.

Answer 3

Use of unsavory words in a workplace is a violation of the employee's right to be treated properly. Thus, an employee if verbally abused could file a complaint against the superior for using foul language against him. Nevertheless, the penalty is usally light for this offense discouraging employees to refrain from filing a complainant. Maybe, the best move is to write an anonymous letter to the superior of your boss in order to conduct an investigation on this case to protect you as a subordinate.

Answer 4

He is creating a hostile work environment for you. And his supervisor is alowing this person to stay knowing he is a liability to the company.
If this is a large corporation, I would write a letter to the VP of human resources and let them know what is going on.
If it is a small company, I would play nice and find another job. That way you can still use this company as a reference.
If you really feel like standing up for your rights, bug his supervisors until you get fired, and then sue them.

mhohol0029, "Blue Steel and Lace" has told you everything you need to know, she is completely 100 % right and her information is completely proper. ALso, "The Shadow Knows" has suggested something good, but if you are at least in CA, you do NOT have the legal right to record someone without their knowledge, and if you do, this is not admissible in a court of law.

Chsel, thanks to people like you crime is possible. You are one of the many who purposely confuse FREEDOM OF SPEECH with the abuse thereof. You give more rights to one person performing a potentially criminal action than to the person on the receiving end. You make a mockery out of our Constitution.

Answer 6

Hostile work environment. File a report with his boss. If the management does nothing sue the company.

Answer 7

the indisputable fact that they are all so conserned approximately being considered using 'Naughty' words makes me have faith them even much less then their obtrusive propaganda. those that are fearful of language and lable some words as "ok" and a few words as "Naughty" or "undesirable" are hassle-free Minded Retards. regularly occurring people do no longer pass around asserting "Oh my gosh! I in simple terms have been given laid off from my interest! go through'in Suckatash! My poopy headed boss reported that the plant grew to become into last down so I regarded him in the attention and reported 'your a great meanie! you already know that? i'm hoping you pass to heck!" words are actually not something extra then random combinations of sounds and letters that we save on with which ability to. FF U C ok is not extra helpful or worse then Fook yet one is "ok" and one is "Naughyt". Why can Sci-Fi make up words that all of us understand are meant to be 'naughty' and that's ok jointly as the actual words are 'undesirable'? Battlestar Galactia - Frack Farscape - Frell all of us understand THAT THEY mean FF U C ok. LANGUAGE isn't something to be fearful of. i actual felt a sprint extra helpful approximately Bush once I observed the video of him swearing and flipping off the digital camera because shows that he's HUMAN. there is extra to him than in simple terms the "image" his PR people attempt to push. If Hilary ever stood up, regarded a the digital camera, and reported "you already know what Obama? FF U C ok YOU." And flipped him the fowl i might income a great form of appreciate for her... understanding that each be conscious that comes out of those people's mouths isn't something yet concentration team directed PROPAGANDA makes me have faith them approximately as much as my threat of being president! we prefer actual people to take over... actual those that sh*t and p*ss and fu*ok and swear... no longer those meat puppets that may not be able to make your suggestions up on what shade underware to positioned on on the instant without spending a pair of 1000's of greenbacks in examine and polls and concentration communities to confirm that "Blue" would be pleased with the electorate in *Whereever they're on the instant*. FuckFuckidieFuckFuckFuck... There... Did that make your inner baby cry? Did you pass out from marvel? improve THE FU*ok UP. "Naughty" words and lovable uphamisms could be left at the back of in Kindergarden the place they belong!

Answer 8

Not a lot. I suggest you look for another job. If you want to sue for sexual harrassment you have to have abolute proof. You need witnesses willing to testify. It could be done but it is very difficult.

Answer 9

I heard of a thing called freedom of speech, now maybe you heard of it. Saying "F" isn't violating anyone unless it is used in a specific way like sexual harrassment on the employees. Now if you did something to "F" up my company I will cuss you out for it. Or if I say it on occassions, then I should have a right to say the "F" word. You want to quit, good for you. But don't go violating another person's right of speech. Just quit.
Ancio_80: Tell me who is he hurting by saying the "F" word please. Crime and bad language are two different things moron. Please clearfy exactly what are fore fathers meant by freedom of speech.

Answer 10

That person has a right to get a new job. Period.
