What if a Hostile Environment Forces You To Quit Work?

Full Video Transcript

Feeling forced to quit because of a difficult work situation? You might be experiencing what’s called ‘constructive dismissal.’ Constructive dismissal occurs when a work environment becomes so hostile that you feel you have no choice but to resign. A ‘hostile work environment’ can include harassment, discrimination, violence, or other unbearable working conditions. If you’re facing these challenges, it’s important to know your rights and what steps you can take. Even though you quit, you may still be able to sue for wrongful termination if you have gone through a constructive dismissal. You could be entitled to back pay and lost wages.
