unloved Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 why aren't there laws to protect employees for unjust cause of harassment by people who do it repeatedly to others? It seems illegal to me and those people shouldn't be allowed to get away with it! Link to post Share on other sites
uriel Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 There are, of course, laws on the books against various forms of (nonsexual) harrassment. What type of behavior are you talking about? -- uriel Link to post Share on other sites

What type of behavior are you talking about? -- uriel Precisely. There are laws in place for all types of harassment. Your job does not have to have specific policies laid out for such things. If the behavior you are concerned about falls under the legal definition of harassment, then you can get the police involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Author unloved Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 I was told by my temp agency that another worker from there was in the office the other day and said they all had to sign a harassment memo. These people who are doing the harassment make things up about people, do everything in their power to upset these people to the point they want to quit, send emails to department manager about the person they are harassing etc. They have been put on probation for it once before but they still continue to do it. One of them called me today but I didn't answer the phone. I used to live in Rochester, I sure miss New York! Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Surely not all offices are like this. Find another place to work where people don't behave so badly. Link to post Share on other sites
