I quit my job in December. I have yet to find another position and am considering filing for unemployment to make ends meet. I'm concerned, however, that I won't qualify because I need to prove a legally "hostile work environment." Please read the situation below and help me decide whether it would qualify:
* Boss constantly belittled other employees behind their backs and even belittled CLIENTS when they weren't around.
* Some in the office were treated unfairly and belittled face-to-face on a regular basis. The receptionist cried numerous times due to this and unfair workloads.
* Boss frequently threw temper tantrums inside and outside her office when things didn't go her way, including yelling profanities and stomping so that the entire office could hear.
* During the month I worked there, two employees were fired (one for medical reasons, which was particularly unfair). I also learned that numerous other employees were fired before I was hired.
* Boss refused to train me and constantly handed me off to other departments for which I didn't work.
* Boss would frequently bark incoherent orders at me with little help or explanation.
* Boss would act rude and impatient when requesting large tasks that she knew I wasn't trained on.
* Other times, boss would ignore me completely and give me no work to do (despite asking for assignments). This forced me to wander around the office, asking others for work and doing things that weren't even in my job description.
* Despite giving no verbal cues, I could tell that my boss looked down on me because I didn't have expensive clothing like others in the office.
* Boss was frequently unprofessional in front of clients and even went so far as to correct me in front of them.
* Being the only democrat in the office during the election season, I was made to feel uncomfortable and could not voice my opinions without ridicule. Though I'm white, I am an open-minded person and was extremely offended by constant racist jokes.
* The owner of the company (the boss of my boss) was just as unreasonable. I did not feel comfortable voicing my concerns with him.
What do you think? Do I have a case??
