Bad advice what do you think?

Don't you think that the following advice (The lawsuit part) I received from another website is bad advice: I think that anytime a manager is in a bad mood they should not open their mouth. With Tania it seems if she is in a bad mood she starts being unprofessional herself and creating a hostile work environment. I told you before and I will tell you again, if you want that woman removed quickly then you and at least one other staff member has to file a lawsuit against your firm for creating a hostile work environment. Believe me, once your company gets served they will move mountains to get Tania out of there because failure to do so could end up meaning they pay millions of dollars in damages to those who filed suit. There are federal employment laws against being treated the way Tania treats you all.





HERE IS THE STORY I ASKED ABOUT: I work in a large company. About a year ago Tania replaced the male manger who everyone loved. Tania is very mean spirited and is always moody. You never know if she is going to be mean or nice. She has caused such friction in our department that people are at each other throats. Our clients have been noticing a change in my coworkers spirits. And yesterday she called one of our most professional workers unprofessional due to the fact that this coworker had to leave because of an emergency at home. Tania will write people up for nonsense (for things she could just ignore).








The reason I think the advice is bad is because I need my job so why would I cause friction and file a lawsuit. After that I would have to quit my job. Also one major client called the CEO's office and told the CEO what is happening in my department.Bad advice what do you think?
Don't sue, that's my advice, unless you never want to work in a similar industry again or planning to retire. Even if you could remove her from the office, your reputation would stink. Maybe sooner or later, the company might ';downsize'; or find ways to ';reduce'; headcount and you would be on the chopping board.





If so, who would hired someone that once filed a lawsuit for a ';hostile work environment';? They would be wary of the same thing happening again.





Let the clients do the work for you. If the lady is as a bad as you said, the clients would complained and the lady would be replaced sooner or later.





Lastly, give the lady a chance, she might not be well like but she might be good at her job. From a point of view, the department might constantly comparing her with the other manager. What makes the other manager lovable, could it be his ';lenient'; or ';free and easy'; attitude? It IS difficult living up to a ';shinning'; predecessor and the point of working is to get things done not to have a social conversation.Bad advice what do you think?
If it were me, I would not let it get this far and leave. Jobs are like men, there are plenty more out there.
I totally agree with you. I think that is bad advice.
Do your job, do it well, and don't let all this drama get in the way. If Tania treats you horribly, confront her, go to HR, or leave the company. Personally, I wouldn't put up with it but if you can obtain another position making what you make now...might as well. Good Luck!
Lawsuits are not the answer to everything. There needs to be specific harm / injury that can be quantified and proven.





A case that is this.. ambiguous and contrived will take years to get through the courts, if it does get that far, but will probably be thrown out before it sees the light of day anyhow.


Lawsuits were originally intended to be a last resort, after all other means are exhausted. These days, many people think it should be the first and only way to ';solve'; a problem.


The result is that everyone hates eachother, or is afraid of eachother, because they don't want to get sued. Not to mention, everything costs twice as much as it should.
It's totally bad advice. If you have a legitimate complaint regarding this manager you and your co-workers should first take your complaints to the human resources department.





Suing a company needs to be reserved for gross misconduct not a grumpy supervisor.
