Employment is not bootcamp..whether he used the N word or not, verbally demeaning employees is harassment. If there is a problem or issue to be addressed, memos or staff meetings are appropriate.. not having NA/AA flashbacks..Kudos to the guy kicking the dope habit even without the slur, he was wrong..
I'm also aware that my state..PA..has laws protecting employers from being secretly recorded..The employer HAS to give consent. Had that incident happened here, that lady's recording wouldn't not have been admissible due to the fact that consent wasn't given by the employer. A few states have similar laws..

Well you could use the argument that the NSA doesn't require consent.
And a few recent cases are trying to get the NSA and their data collection antics into court cases one way or another.
If the NSA/DEA/FBI/CIA/etc. can do it then why can't other Americans ?
"Wat up my n*gga" between two Black students doesn't even get a blink of an eye.
Not EVER by this teacher. They were treated to a lecture on the sacrifices people made for them not to be called derogatory terms based on race like that and a call home to parents the first time. The second time they get detention with an assignment to research and write about the history of the word - and I stayed late to help them. I did the same thing with the word "wiggar".
So no, I'm not accustomed to managers and higher ups acting grossly unprofessional.
Since my state is an at-will state, you just get fired..
That's probably the disconnect. I also work in an office but I have friends that work in other less professional environments, they are 2 different worlds.
Just a few weeks ago my buddies neighbors were getting their roof replaced and they had to call police because 2 of the workers started going after each other with hammers etc.
Employment law in PA is extremely rigid..I suppose if a federal agent provided proof it probably would be admissible in court..
But for the rest of us, the "Two-Party" consent law states that both parties have to consent to being recorded. Unfortunately even if you feel you have just cause to prove discrimination, without the other parties consent, the evidence would be inadmissible in a court. *sucks*
Unless there's a union involved, in PA, its hard to prove being a victim of discrimination or harassment. The employer can get rid of you before anything gets sticky. That's why they don't yell and scream at you. They don't have to. Your just replaced..
Were they able to finish the roof despite the ruckus?
