I recently walked into my office to hear my supervisor talking about me with one of my co-workers. He said “If she was not so efficient, I would have fired her a long time ago” And the other employee says, “She just walked by”, my supervisor states, “Now, right after I said that?” The co-worker responds “Yes” and the supervisor says “Crap”. Goes into his office, send an email to us both stating he has an appointment he forgot about and abruptly leaves. I did go and speak with my supervisors boss who says that the comment was inappropriate and he will have a talk with him. Do I have any legal recourse here such as a hostile work environment? This is not the first time this has happened, although the other instances are all heresay where other employees have overheard similar conversation from these same two people, one being my supervisor, the other being an equal co-worker. Please tell me what rights, if any I have.
