Asked on Sep 25th, 2016 on Labor and Employment - North Carolina
More details to this question:
Can anything be done? The lawyer has power,money and connections high up. He knows what he has been doing for the last fourteen months. The CEO had a talk with him but he is worse. He says horrible things daily. He asked if i could get an erection after my recent bladder surgery then laughed. Bangs on the toilet door only when i am in. Puts me down in front of the general manager saying i didnt serve the coffee correctly.The GM said i wasnt a coffee maker. So many other things in fact four pages full. Last straw was i worked all during my summer holidays because the CEO asked me and i took two days of work last week and when i returned he had given my desk to a lawyer because the lawyer needed a new one and he had ordered a new one for me. Everything i had on top has disappeared. Advice please

North Carolina has no employment law that prohibits bullying per say. Bullying is only unlawful if it meets the definition of unlawful harassment on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disabilty or age 40 or older.
