    Default Re: Harassment (Not Sexual) at Work Problem Need Urgent

    I already had meeting with employment attorney and confirmed it was illegal harassment and it caused harassing working environment.

    I was confused by your precious questions which proved now may be unnecessary. The definition about harassment is not on the harasser's motivation which is totally irrelevant, like Colorado killer, He can explain there was no motivation or the motivation as joke. However, it is the consequence counts. The killing is crime regardless if the killer has malicious motivation or not. The harassment is illegal because the victim feels insulted and harassed and causing negative impact to work to the victim.

    I was not asking if this is harassment which I already confirmed. Please do some research before giving others advices, otherwise, it's really misleading.

    Perhaps your lawyer tried to explain the reasonable person standard to you - that if a reasonable person would be offended by something, in certain context the speaker's intention can be irrelevant; but we're talking about a reasonable person, not an individual's subjective impressions that may reflect significantly heightened (or lowered) sensitivity. But if the so-called harassment does not relate to a protected status, it's something for your employer to deal with pursuant to its personnel policies. That's a long way from justifying a lawsuit - which would presumably be why the lawyer offered to let you pay him to send a letter rather than signing you on as a client on a contingency basis.

    You and it appears your attorney have no clue what you're talking about. I've seen your same post on several other websites and know that all you want to do is argue the point but NOTHING in any of your posts suggests any form of prohibited harassment is taking place. Not even close and not under any theory of law. No laws require your co-workers to be nice to you.

    Problem solved. The harasser was punished by company B by taking some corrective, disciplinary actions. Outcome is satisfactory.

    Has nothing to do with the law.

    I don't believe that, but for the sake of argument let's say it is true. In that case, it was entirely Company B's prerogative. They were under no legal requirement to do so, so don't indulge in a false sense of security. If you continue to squawk about what you mistakenly think is illegal behavior, eventually your employer will get tired of it and you'll be gone.
