Hostile Work Controversy

Improved Essays
Show More
I wish we had more of a timeline from when the two had their conversation and when Joe went to HR. Just because Bob told Joe “to do his job” is not a hostile work environment. Bob is his boss and Joe questioned him (I would be mad too) and if he had a stern tone with him that is not a hostile work environment. If having a stern tone is the making of a hostile work environment then every unit I have been in would be hostile. Without knowing what Bob is telling Joe and how he is telling him, I just cannot say he is hostile. There has to be a proper investigation. If Bob is calling him stupid or worthless and going on to say I am going to get you fired for what you did then yes that is hostile and Bob should be held accountable for his actions.

    Tenneco-Personal Narrative

    Within a day of the record low efficiencies a new shipping and receiving manager was hired. On his first day, Nick, the new manager, made his presence known by his open participation in illegal drug activities and overconsumption of alcohol. Nick furthered his conversations, by accusing me of partaking in the same activities as him. To eliminate any rash thoughts, he or anyone may have of me, I stopped my work, stood in the middle of the materials office and confidently replied “I would rather you compliment me on my work ethic, rather the extracurricular activities you assume I participate in.” Afterwards, I scheduled a meeting with Nick to discuss the parameters of our professional relationship and how his inappropriate stories made me…

    False Censorship In The Workplace

    Unfortunately, I have not that experienced with screen sharing and the procedures that you should follow but I am watching the staff series of @MadG and @ProCombo to get an idea of how things run around here. I remember that I need to record any bans that I distribute in case I am accused of false banning. Another beneficial thing upon my addition to the Viper team is that I have a judicial temperament when I am representing the position of a job. This means that I am able to deal with people calmly and that I am always willing to hear and consider the views of all sides of a case. In a majority of player reports that I have witnessed throughout my time playing Minecraft in general, staff usually only look at one side of the problem.…
