legend Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 What? Why do white teen boys need a safe haven from "diversity?" That is the dumbest thing I've read today, and today I read tweets written by Donald Trump! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Some of you really need to study up on the concept of hostile workplace protections. Quote "Hostile work environment" harassment under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act consists of inappropriate behavior in the workplace that is either severe or pervasive enough to create an abusive work atmosphere for one or more employees. https://www.shouselaw.com/employment/hostile-work-environment.html That "or" is critical here. No individual instance needs to be particularly egregious if there's a LOT of instances that she's complaining about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 @Jason With Riot, we already know it's going to be an "and" with all the dirt there. I was curious, so I looked through the footnotes for what is considered pervasive. Its further defined as not occasional, isolated, sporadic, or trivial conduct. That's clarified by the higher court: Quote To warrant legal action, an objectionable environment must be both objectively and subjectively offensive, one that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive, and one that the victim in fact did perceive to be so. The law doesn’t consider “ordinary tribulations of the workplace, such as the sporadic use of abusive language, gender-related jokes, and occasional teasing” actionable harassment. See Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775, 788 (1998)http://pettitkohn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/FTD-Exploring_Severe_Pervasive_Req_Harassment_Claims.pdf Seems like reasonable criteria to me. Not every off-hand comment deserves a lawsuit, and context must be considered to determine if the work environment is truly hostile. More about Cali specific cases in that link as well.

I guess it wasn’t clear to me that we were discussing the finer details of this case and holding them up like that. If that’s actually what is happening, have fun with that and I’ll see myself out.

Bloodporne Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 On a completely relevant note, their games look really lame. Never knew who they were before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
