Yes, we all have a right to think what we want to think. But… it's critical that we refrain from expressing those kinds of views - publicly or privately – by words or actions, in the workplace.

Equal Employment (from It's the Law™)

Modern day federal equal employment laws began with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and amendments to it and interpretations by the courts. It’s important to understand that sex discrimination law protects persons of all sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations-including cisgendered men and heterosexuals. Also, race discrimination law protects persons of all races, including Caucasians. Basically, almost every applicant, employee, or former employee is now protected from discrimination because of their membership in groups protected by law.

Evaluating Performance & Progressive Discipline (from It's the Law™)

Unless an immediate termination is called for because of severe misconduct or major error, most terminations are the culmination of inappropriate conduct, unsatisfactory performance, or poor attendance that have built up over time. Most organizations follow progressive discipline steps in these situations. And progressive discipline is usually required in union collective bargaining agreements. It’s important to be careful, fair, accurate, and consistent when issuing disciplinary or corrective actions—and when evaluating performance.

Illegal Harassment (from It's the Law™)

Harassment is conduct motivated by a protected characteristic, that’s unwelcome, and severe or pervasive, and that unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. That’s a mouthful, but it’s really not that hard to spot hostile environment harassment. For instance, when someone creates an uncomfortable work environment for another employee by always referring to them as “dinosaur,” “the old guy,” “grandpa,” or “Boomer,” it can be considered a form of illegal harassment. And it's a manager's responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (from It's the Law™)

Both the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 - which applies to Federal employers and Federal Government contractors - and The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 - which applies to private employers - promote and expand employment opportunities for millions of people who have a mental or physical disability.
