Are you experiencing harassment, discrimination, or intimidation at work? At Nasseri Legal, we specialize in employment law and are dedicated to defending California employees against hostile work environments. We’re here to help you understand your rights and take action to protect your well-being and career.
A hostile work environment occurs when an employee is subjected to unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, such as race, gender, religion, or disability. This conduct must be severe or pervasive enough to create an intimidating, offensive, or abusive work atmosphere that interferes with your ability to do your job.
California law protects employees from harassment and discrimination based on:
Race or color
Gender, gender identity, or gender expression
Age (40 and over)
Religion
Disability (mental or physical)
National origin or ancestry
Sexual orientation
Marital status
Pregnancy or related medical conditions
Hostile work environments may include:
Offensive jokes, slurs, or name-calling
Unwanted sexual advances or comments
Displaying inappropriate or offensive images
Mocking or belittling based on protected traits
Physical threats or intimidation
Exclusion from meetings or job duties
Unequal treatment due to bias
If you believe you’re working in a hostile environment, here’s what you can do:
Document the Behavior – Keep detailed notes about what happened, when, and who was involved.
Report Internally – Notify HR or your supervisor to give your employer a chance to resolve the issue.
Consult a Lawyer – We can help you understand your options and protect your legal rights.
File a Complaint – You may file with the California DFEH or the EEOC if the issue is not resolved.
Consider Legal Action – If necessary, we can help you pursue a lawsuit for damages and justice.
