https://hkm.com/seattle/retaliation/ https://hkm.com/seattle/retaliation/ Most US states are at will; and people still win lawsuits against their employers quite often for just run of the mill toxic behavior, and not just for things as cut and dry as bigotry (although, being a visa holder, he may have a case for, especially since it was a part of these discussions - national origin and immigration status are protected classes).

From the link > Retaliation is defined as any action taken against an employee for daring to file a discrimination or harassment claim And then for harassment: https://hkm.com/seattle/hostile-work-environment/ https://hkm.com/seattle/hostile-work-environment/ > Harassment in the workplace is a form of employment discrimination. Unlawful harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and as such is illegal. Unfortunately harassment can come in many forms, both verbal and physical and can be based on any of the following forms of discrimination: > Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Sexual orientation, Age, Disability (mental or physical), Retaliation See above about "Retaliation" Is there something I'm missing in there? Because that again appears to only protect one from a protected class. It does not mean if your boss is being mean or insulting to you for things outside of those protected classes. But again, am I missing something in there that is different? Do you have an example of a civil or criminal case won by a plaintiff for "toxic behavior"? I'd be very interested in that, as that would mean the advice I've recieved from two diffent legal counsels I've contracted for advice. If you are correct, it appears I may have a civil claim against those attorneys.

  I mean one one thing your missing (but probably also the person you're replying to) is that in the actual lawsuit he alleges racial discrimination with some credibility. But also disability discrimination with regards to his kid. Anyways, here's the brief he filed (unfortunately pro se) https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.269265/gov.uscourts.wawd.269265.1.2.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.269265...
