What do you get when you cross a comedian with a hostile work environment? Today’s story! When a complaint comes out against people on the Jimmy Fallon staff of The Tonight Show, people’s assumptions of it being a fun, positive place to work are challenged. The internal teams at NBC are challenged with the task of addressing issues with a lead personality.

On today’s episode, Chuck and John dive into what steps to take when a leader at a business is accused of mistreating employees and creating a hostile environment.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

• Continued conversation around remote work
• ‘Corporate Goth’ Gen Z employees in the workforce
• A retaliation case that didn’t end well
• Sexual favoritism in the workplace
• Prayer groups at work
• Discriminatory assessments at Walmart

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
