Whether a “Hostile Work Environment” Exists Depends on the Facts. Bloomberg Law and The Washington Post discuss two different situations with Employment Chair and Partner Amy Epstein Gluck. A recent Ninth Circuit ruling builds on the EEOC’s newly finalized harassment guidance, which says employers can be liable for off-duty conduct that occurs online or on social media if it affects someone’s work environment. Amy explained how a hostile work environment can be created, and forecasted: “’We are going to see more of these issues crop up, especially in an election year, because the country’s polarized political climate often fuels workers’ emotional and contentious ideological expressions on social media.” Read the EEOC's ruling and Amy's explanation here: https://lnkd.in/eDduPRuU #EEOC #workplaceharrassment #inthenews #PierFerd #laborandemploymentlaw
