There is a common misconception, that a workplace cannot be hostile. That is, unfortunately, untrue: a workplace may be completely hostile with only a few exceptions (see below). Apart from those exceptions, a workplace may harass, discriminate, etc. as much as, and anyone, it likes.The exceptions:1) No harassment or discrimination against a person on the basis of a protected category, of which there are only a few: e.g. race, sex, religion, age over 40, disability.2) No harassment or retaliation for bringing a protected claim: e.g. for FMLA leave, a wage and hour claim, a discrimination claim, etc.Other than that, there is no protection against not be offended or distracted at work.
