    Default Wrongful Termination in Texas

    Wrongful termination in the state of texas? I know tx is an at will state but I continue to hear people talk about it, hell, they sent us, mid management, to training to teach us what we can and can't do such as promoting a hostile work environment, make threats, call names etc and my ex boss has done all of these things and I got fired for standing up to him. He wanted me to write a letter that would be falsifying information and I refused. He said I was insubordinate and confrontational and fired me. So, if there is really nothing that can be done then why do they "posture" as if something can be done. The city atty where I worked instructed everyone within city hall to have no contact with me what so ever. He was acting on false information provided again, by my ex boss.

    There are remedies for maintaining a hostile work environment, but if you're actually trained in the subject you know that term doesn't describe a context in which your boss simply treats you badly or calls you names.

    I dont understand. So what constitues a hostile work environment. The training sessions I attended would refer to a hostile work environment where you would threaten a persons employment or threaten bodily harm which was done by the boss and a coworker, twice.

    A hostile work environment exists when and only when you are being subjected to either sexual harassment or illegal harassment/discrimination under Title VII and related laws ( ie race, religion, national origin, etc).
