Time to look for an employment lawyer. Hostile work environments are not a joke, and remember I mentioned that mental illness is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. You are not asking for an unreasonable accommodation, rather a very reasonable one asking that you not be harassed while at work. It is not the manner in which a message is deliver, rather than in how it I perceived and that does not mean that overly sensitive or not that your feelings don't matter. Uugh, this makes my blood boil. People cannot act like this, and the fact that a trained HR representative thinks it is okay is beyond my comprehension. We must have attended different schools lol!
