Some employees think that any unfair treatment is grounds for a lawsuit under either federal law or California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). They whine about co-workers and complain about being wronged. Fortunately for employers, mundane workplace gripes aren’t enough to support a lawsuit.
Recent case: Del, a Stanislaus County deputy sheriff, had trouble getting along with others. His partners frequently asked for transfers. When he and his latest partner got into a shouting match, Del claimed he worked in a hostile environment. He sued, alleging discrimination and retaliation under FEHA.
