Best Answer

Severe or pervasive misconduct when the cause of the misconduct is race, sex, age, religion or disability.

No one should have to perform their job in a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment refers to a place of business where a person is perpetually harassed, demeaned, or otherwise poorly treated.
