Yes.  First steps is to ask the person to "stop" (this puts them on notice that their behavior is unacceptable).  If you've done this already - great.  Next if it continues, report the request for it to stop.  Next go to your manager and report it.  Go to HR and report it. Find out what steps you have to take to officially file a complaint with your company.  A work environment should NEVER be hostile, EVER!  Good Luck to you.

I think it is because customer service oriented jobs are being performed by the couch potato generation.  They think they are doing us a favor by being there.  Labor laws protect the employee but not the employer.  It is hard to weed out the individuals that are lazy.  It's not like the days when somebody could be fired on the spot.  Now there is so much red tape to terminate somebody.  I feel your pain though.  I have a hard time having to bag my own groceries after putting in a ten hour day!  I voice my opinion by making a copy of my receipt and mailing it to the business owner or manager with my complaint.  This way; they know exactly who the individual was, what time and date the incident occurred, and what my issues were.  Most of the time I get a letter explaining that the problem is being addressed.  Sometimes, the individual puts two and two together and is much more pleasant to me the next time I pay the place of business a visit.

They can't make you do that. These employers are just bullying the employees.

you have the right idea, but wrong legal concept.  It could be considered sexual harassment, but more likely, "a hostile work environment."  \n\nConsider this:  Never never never underestimate the pettiness of management.

because i was a good one for a number of years.  my philosophy was that i didn't expect my employees to do anything that i was unable or unwilling to do, if i asked them to do some nasty task like scrubbing garbage cans, i was the first one to grab a rag and cleaner and was scrubbing right along with them.  and if they wanted "extras" like getting off early, they worked for them by staying late when someone else wanted to get off early.  it's important to develop mutual respect.

I DONT THINK THEY LOOK AT IT AS AN ETHICAL CHOICE,  ITS BUSINESS.  AS A BOSS I WANT TO KEEP THE BEST WORKERS HAPPY SO THAT THE SLACKERS EITHER LEAVE OR PICK UP THEIR PACE.   I THINK ITS NECESSARY FOR A MANAGER TO COMPARE HIS/HER EMPLOYEES WHEN THERE IS A PROMOTION IN LINE.  THE BEST WORKER SHOULD GET AHEAD.

None of the things that you describe are matters of labor law.  They are subjective aspects of managerial style.  As they say "management has the right to mismanage."  Just as it is not illegal for businesses to be rude to their customers, it is not illegal for supervisors to be rude to their employees.  \n\nSexual harassment and discrimination based on sex, old age, disability, religion, etc *is* against the law, so if you think that your manager is treating you poorly for these reasons, then you may have good reason to take legal action.  But if your manager is just plain rude to everybody, then this probably won't work.\n\nThat said, companies have an incentive to keep good employees.  If people are quitting because a particular manager is making it a crappy place to work, then the company is spending unneeded dollars on hiring replacements.  You might consider talking to your manager's boss... or perhaps someone at human resources (if you have such a department).  Based on what you describe, you aren't going to have much in the way of legal recourse against your manager.  You may end up having to either put up with him/her or let your shoes do the talking (and quit).

Your question would make sense about 20 years ago. Today, however, the best managers are coaches who help raise, in their employees, self-awareness and responsibility.\n\nExplanation: if you have to discipline your employees, they are probably not of the highest quality (since they need external reinforcement). So rather than discipline them, let them go.\n\nLook for quality employees, then spend the time required to coach them into leaders.\n\nEven if you run a business that hires teenagers, it is still possible to coach them so that they gain a deeper awareness of what they are doing, and begin to take responsibility for the results you expect from them.\n\nThe command-and-control model of management of past decades is no longer effective. Far more effective is the commend-and-coach model, where you spot what they are doing right and recognize their good actions and behavior and initiative, while providing them with appropriate coaching to help them grow AND help your business grow.

If your employer has an ounce of compassion and decency you shouldn't!\n\nSorry for your lose!

An employee doesn't have to have a reason. Among the more "legitimate" reasons are that they have been sexually harassed, they need the time for family or study, retirement, career advancement, etc, etc. The not so noble ones include faking any of the above, hating the boss, more money, too lazy to work.

because they're having bad days or are miserable people and are looking for someone to take it out on.  retail employees are easy targets.

If "you" feel that your superiors are being unfair in their reports about you and your co-workers are manipulating you......perhaps this isn't the organization for you.\n\nWhy stay someplace where you aren't happy?
