Workplace Retaliation is one of the most common claims in the employment lawsuit filings in California. The other day I had a conversation with a friend who is in charge of the human resources department at one of the government offices in Sacramento. As an employment lawyer, I was really curious to learn about her perspective on the employer-employee relationships, disputes, as well as the wrongful termination claims.
My friend openly told me that many of the employee are overly "dramatic" believing that their co-workers treat then unfairly or harass them, and that their management has conspired to get rid of them. The managers, in his opinion, cause many issues at workplace, including the ones that lead to lawsuits for harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination, because of their sense of entitlement. My friend told me that managers regularly respond to employee's complaint by saying that the manager is above the employee, that the manager can do whatever he or she wants, and that it's an employee's job to comply. It is only natural then for the managers to retaliate against their employees, when the same employee complain about them due to the mixed feelings of superiority and fear of losing their management position.
