Retaliation
Other factors such as race, disability and age can constitute hostile work environments. For instance, if an African American is harassed about his race, then that can constitute a hostile work environment. Forms of retaliation include demotions, terminations, and any negative impact on the workplace that can be linked with a protected activity, such as whistleblowing or filing a workers' compensation claim.
