What constitutes a hostile workplace?

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a Hostile Work Environment is where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.  But generally, the offensive conduct must be based on an employee’s race, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age, or pregnancy (among others).  It is best to contact an attorney in your area to discuss your (or you’re your husband’s) specific situation.
