What about having a boss who gives high marks in the yearly evaluation to employees he considers “socially acceptable” and all-zeros (“unemployable, why is this person still here and who hired him?”) to those he doesn’t, even though the evaluations he got back from other people were full of fives (“performed above and beyond all expectations”)? (The boss asks other people for their opinion of the employee and is supposed to take those opinions into account for his own evaluation)
It’s got a direct impact on the employees’ lives and future; forget about offensive, it’s directly damaging. Mind you, I reckon the first thing that should be in place is a policy by which employees can ask for a review of the review: losing good employees because some dude is a turd should be something the company itself wants to avoid. But if companies aren’t able to realize that truth, it can be a good thing to have a legal reminder of it.
Ah yes, the usual Lefty love story with the law: “Who cares if we pass a nightmarishly bad law which devours logic like the madness of Cthulhu! We fel good about ourselves and now we can lawyer it out in courts!”
And this law would not actually do anything about that. At all. SO even before you’ve begun the argument, your argument became FAIL.
I never use smilies, but
Seriously, anyone who depends on the law for protection from bullies cannot really be called an adult. If you don’t like your boss, then quit. If you can’t quit today, stop spending your money on fancy handbags and start an “F You” fund. If you think you can never quit, then I guess you deserve to be bullied.
