Witness harassment is one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — forms of workplace misconduct. In this episode, employment attorney Jonny Law explains what witness harassment is, how employers use it to suppress evidence, and why it is illegal under California and federal law.
We break down real-world examples, including pressure on coworkers not to cooperate, threats of discipline or termination, sudden write-ups, and management “reminders” about loyalty or confidentiality that cross the legal line. You’ll learn how witness harassment differs from lawful workplace management, how it shows up in retaliation cases, and what employees and witnesses should do if they experience it.
If you’re an employee, a witness in a workplace dispute, or an employer trying to understand where the line is — this episode explains it clearly and directly.
