Do I have legal action against my company for a hostile work environment?

The CEO and the VP of the company I work at always had a shaky relationship where the CEO was extremely verbally aggressive to her and the company employees on a regular basis. The CEO likely has rage issues and most likely mentally unstable though neither has been proven.

A few months ago the CEO screamed at me for a mistake he ultimately made and threw his keys against my coworkers desk causing them to shatter. Later he threw his iPhone against the wall when it reflected and nearly hit me. I come home sick to my stomach honestly fearing for my life.

Just recently the CEO quite and the staff found out that he and the VP were splitting up. One day our General Manager told the staff to leave the office for our safety since he was on the way to the office to "see the VP". The VP was escorted to her car for safety and the staff was forced to leave in a panic. We were told to work from home the following day.

This is just one of many times the CEO expressed extreme rage. Is there any legal grounds to take action against the company. I can't afford to quite but obviously it is becoming dangerous to work there.

No. If you are in the us, the phrase "hostile work environment" does not refer to having hostile people around. It refers to allowing disparate treatment that makes it difficult to keep working, because of your race, gender, religion or national origin. There's no law that prohibits working with hostile people. Therefore, people can be cops and baseball umpires and all sorts of other things.

Well he might have rage problems and all that but he didn't actually harm anyone in the office did he?
In this case nothing can be done about it. You need to understand their job positions are very stressful, also a good percent of psychopaths are actually CEOs.

  • Why further action on Craigslist ads? I keep posting in the personals through my iPhone app and it used to just post from there. Nowadays it says further action required, sends me an email, then I have to click a link, then accept terms then it posts. It's not that bad but anyone know why it's doing that?
  • What is the best inexpensive camera for low light action shots? I have recently had a baby and have been taking lots of pictures of him with my iPhone… I know… Bad. Needless to say I have missed out on a lot of great shots. Now that my baby is more active and never sits still I have an even harder time getting a good picture of him. I'm looking for a camera around $350 that is easy to use and will not produce blurry pictures. We're inside just as much as we're outside so a camera that does well in low light is a must.
  • IPhone Action Apps With a Female Lead? Does anyone know of any iPhone apps that are adventure-ish with a female as a playable main character? I've been searching for some for a while now and haven't found much. My favourite app is NyxQuest, so if you can find a game with mythological aspects to it as well, that's awesome.
  • If I drop my iPhone in the ocean will it harm the environment? I want to give my iPhone to Poseidon but I'm afraid that dropping an iPhone in the ocean will be bad for the environment. What harm would an iPhone do if any, besides just littering in the ocean?
