A hostile workplace lawyer helps when your workplace goes from bad to dangerously bad. We’ve all been or known someone that worked at a company that was stressful. Maybe it was a bad boss or just bad leadership. However, a hostile workplace goes beyond that. When an employer or manager makes a work environment that so pervasively hostile that it makes people feel unsafe or scared then you may have a legal case. Discrimination, harassment, or assault may make up your workplace and that’s not acceptable.

Although, we all know that being abusive to your staff isn’t okay it can be hard to prove it was illegal. This is why it is extremely important to keep documentation of not just the behavior done to you (which might fall under harassment or discrimination), but to others to prove that the workplace has become an abusive environment.

If you’re unsure if your environment is toxic or if you are experiencing harassment or discrimination, talk to your coworkers. Share experiences and have each others backs as you work for a solution. Having multiple people on your side tells a story to not just HR but to a lawyer should you need one.
