What is the name of your state? IL
I work at a company that has a long time employee that is generally rude and hatefull of most of our co workers. The person has been reprimanded over the years for his treatment of co workers, but nothing is ever done about him. He gets spanked, then is good for a while, then back to his old tricks again. There is another co worker that has a disability, has a paralyzed arm. It in no way affects this persons abilities to perform exceptionally well, in fact in his short time with the company, he has surpased the rude co worker, so the rude worker hates this person more and he gets the brunt of his harrassing. He slings comments like, "Hey one ARM" or Cripple. He will mess with his personal belongings on his desk. Even went as far as to break the lock of this guys desk while this person was on vacation. The comments from management are, well he has always been like that, you will get use to him. Or , he is like that to everyone? Management has undergone 2 internal HR investigations for harrassment of 2 women co workers in the past. Nothing was done to managers, both women are gone. No one wants to stand up to anyone in this company, because they have shown, the squeky wheel gets the Boot. Does this person have any recourse for lawsuit against this employee and company for tollerating this for so long?
