Consult ACAS about constructive dismissal. They are on line and in the phone book.Where i can get advice if someone offended me and I had to leave my job ?
My mom has been through a very similar experience. She called every law enforcement agency and workers agency that we can find a number to. The same response came back, unless it came out that is was part of discimination- through age, race, sex, religion, etc- there really isn't much you can do about it. In fact, one of the ladies we talked to said it isn't against the law to be nasty. I think it should be, but I don't make the laws regrettably.





BTW- since I don't know what state you are in- I would check to see if there is a state mandated law that does regular the treatment of the employees, that would be your best bet. As I said no federal law regulates the niceness of the employers.
You may be able to, but it will depend on the circumstances, what was said and how long you worked there.





Best thing to do would be to go to a solicitor. Most high street firms will give you a free half hour consultation and will tell you if you have a claim.





From there the CAB can help you to start your claim if there are grounds.





Good Luck.
You should have stood up to her,,,,thats the only way to treat bullies,,,,i dont think you have been there long enough really,,,but the Job centre will advise you,,,,,sorry,,,,,You are better of not working there,,,anyway,,,,
NO you quit the position no unemployment unless you have a very benevolent company. Do you have proof that this was done? Do you have proof that your work was up to standards? OMG she cussed so what that makes you quit your job? With that soft of skin you will never make it anywhere, you are looking for a free ride, and free money. The only one that ruined your career is you
The best way to deal with this would have been to file a grievance with her superiors preferably with the aid of your union representitive - lots of people aren't in unions these days though - but you are entitled to file a grievance yourself anyway.





However, hindsight is a wonderful thing and you may have been a bit hasty in resigning. Though this person was obnoxious and behaved very unprofessionally it would probably be difficult to prove she had ruined your career - you merely left of your own accord - the firm you worked for has no record of any complaint you had because you never made one so they could not be held responsible for failing to resolve the matter.
go see some solisitors and sew her *ss, you have a case
Did you escolate it to their boss? That would've been the right way to go or to HR.
Go to the Citizens Advice
Back in the 1980s I temped at the National Poisons Unit in London. The Administrator there was a Belgian lady with a mouth like a sewer. She would bully everyone and I often saw people in tears because of her behaviour. The permanent secretary would be threatened with demotion every day - in front of the secretary's boss! No one stood up to this woman.





I had been there a few days before she started on me. I phoned the agency who sent me there as she started, knowing what was coming. She turned her back on me while she was f'ing and blinding %26amp; I just said to the consultant, 'I think you should listen to this' and held the phone in the air. When the woman turned round, she just gasped! I asked the consultant if she'd heard it and her answer was 'get your stuff and leave now! that is totally unacceptable'. I did and got the full week's pay. A complaint was put through to human resources saying that none of their temps were going back until the situation was sorted. She was given a written warning and I think has since been sacked.





Moral - record them. Get one of those small recorders from Rymans or similar and make a copy. Take it to Personnel and job centre and let them know what is happening. Also, take it to your doctor and get some time off through stress. That should be enough evidence for a constructive dismissal case %26amp; get the bully the punishment she deserves at the same time!
If you are in the U.S. the only thing you can try is to file a claim with the E.E.O.C. (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) for hostile work environment. They will ask you if you attempted to resolve the situation through the company's grievance policy - H.R., senior management, but just report the facts as you know them and see what happens.





Other posters are correct that there is no state or federal law saying you have to be nice at work or nice to your employees. The E.E.O.C. will not get you any compensation for this but if they find in your favor you can get an attorney and go after them for money.





I know she was a nasty person, but next time you encounter this kind of situation (which I can tell you there will be another time in your career that you come across nasty bosses or co-workers) you need to work through the company system to resolve it rather than quitting the company. Keep in mind that it's better to find another job first before you leave the one you have.
Correction- YOU ruined your career, you chose to quit. If this person is mean and nasty to everyone, it will eventually catch up with her.





Did you do anything proactive - file a grievence? Gather others and approach her? Ask to be transferred to another supervisor?


No, you just quit. If you 'really wanted to work there for a long time', you should have tried some problem solving.
there is something called ';constructive dismissal'; meaning that you have had to leave your jib because you felt you had no choice (bullying etc)


However this is very difficult to actually win a case, unless you have been severley bullied or assualted or harrased.


I have a feling you were maybe a little hasty in leaving over one incident, what you all should have done is joined forces and done something about this woman together.





I wish you luck xx
