So your manager said something that made your skin crawl. Now what?
California law has something to say about that.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act—FEHA for short—applies to every employer in California when it comes to harassment. No "well we only have three employees" exemption. No size minimum. Every store. Every shift.
What counts as harassment under FEHA? It has to be based on a protected characteristic (race, sex, age, disability, religion, and more) and it has to be either severe enough on its own or part of a pattern that changes what it feels like to come to work. A single horrific incident can qualify. So can a hundred small ones that add up.
Two main types: → Hostile work environment: An ongoing or serious pattern that makes work unbearable → Quid pro quo: "Put up with this or lose your hours/promotion/job"
If you report it and they punish you for it? That's a separate legal problem for them.
Document. Everything. Date, time, location, exactly what was said, who was there. Don't delete anything.
