Complaint Letter for Hostile Work Environment

Peace of mind is very important for every walk of life. The tired and exhausted mind cannot perform its job, unlike the fresh mind. This is the responsibility of managerial staff also to keep calm the men under them and should not put an extra burden on them. Because work pressure itself is enough for a person to bear it. In this way, they can increase the output of people which eventually enhances the production rate of the company while keeping a good office environment. A hostile environment is not recommended in any department because it ruins the mental health of the person.

Sometimes, the higher authority of the company is unaware of the fact about office routine and office environment. Therefore, instead of bearing the hostile environment and suffering from intense mental tension, it is always a wise decision to inform the higher authority about the office environment and complaint about it.

I [name] joined this company [name] on [date] as [designation]. Ever since I have started working here I have found the environment to be very toxic. Competition is normal among peers but the amount of negativity and animosity I have seen in this office is something I have never experienced before. I am a [race] by birth and the animosity I have faced due to my race is very distressing. My Project manager hardly ever assigns any good project to me and the credit for the work I do is given to others.

Lunchtime is a nightmare for me due to the offensive jokes aimed at my color and race. Emails containing jokes targeting my race are circulated. This entire situation is very difficult for me to handle and I cannot work to my full potential in such a negative environment. My colleagues’ attitude is very insulting and extremely biased. They are very rude and do not let any occasion to degrade me go by.

Sir, please look into this issue as otherwise, I would have no choice but to leave this job. Also, I would put my entire experience online so that others of my race do not apply here and face the discrimination I have experienced. Looking forward to strict action from your side.

I [name] joined your organization on [date]. In the seven months that I have worked here, I have faced a very unwelcoming and negative environment. The majority of male employees are extremely biased against ladies and do not want them in the workplace and hence making them very uncomfortable in the office. Staring, making inappropriate jokes, and harassing ladies by words and actions is a norm.

Fitting into this environment has proven to be very challenging and it has taken its toll on my mental health. I have started seeing a therapist for the last two months because I was having severe anxiety and depression. It was not an easy decision to file an official complaint to the Human resource but now things have come to the point where I have to get help from the management.

I was hired due to my education and competency and it is my right to be treated with respect and fairness. In today’s age and time especially with the power of social media, no one can harass females so boldly and get away with it.

Your organization claims to be an inclusive and safe workplace, but my experience has been quite to the contrary. I have kept evidence of many of the incidents and I have witnesses who can attest to the discrimination and harassment. Also, a lot of my female colleagues are considering putting up complaints themselves.

Please look into this matter and reprimand the culprits in the strictest manner possible so that the work environment improves as no one can be productive in such a negative environment. Looking forward to strict and firm action from your side.

Dear [Recipients Name],

I hope you are fine and enjoying your health. It is submitted that production enhancement procedures and high self-esteem were discussed in the last open forum but only a few comments were passed in this regard.

However, I feel necessary to highlight the issue of a hostile office environment now a day. In my opinion, this is the major reason for downstream of the production. As people in the office are mentally disturbed and are unable to focus on work because of the bad office environment.

Mentally retarded management is constantly involving the office colleagues in their personal work and in the case of a decline in obeying the order, severe harassment is the resultant. The office workers are busy fulfilling the wish list of their superior which has no concern with the production rate of the company. This is not only damaging the structure of the company but also pushing the workers to search for another job. If the situation prevails the same, then I am afraid that not even a single worker will stay in this company.

Sincerely,

Austin Thomas.

Productions Manager, Micro-Macro Company.
