Have you ever felt the weight of a hostile work environment bearing down on you? In this gripping episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey and his co-hosts peel back the layers of a high-stakes employment lawsuit that could redefine how we view employee rights in the modern workplace. Join us as we delve into the compelling case of Kathleen Megan Walsh against Fitch Solutions and Fitch Group, where issues of age, sex, hostile work environment, and disability discrimination collide with the harsh realities of corporate culture shifts after an acquisition. 

Walsh, a dedicated employee with nearly two decades of service across various Fitch subsidiaries, has found herself at the center of a storm following management changes that have turned her long-standing remote work accommodation for severe migraines into a battleground. This episode emphasizes the critical importance of understanding workplace dynamics, especially for employees with disabilities who often face discrimination and a hostile work environment in the workplace. We explore how corporate culture can impact employee rights and protections, raising vital questions about the intersection of health needs and workplace expectations. 

As we dissect the legal intricacies of Walsh's claims, including a motion to dismiss filed by the defendants arguing that her allegations are time-barred or lack plausibility, we invite you to consider your own position in the workplace. Are you aware of your rights? Do you know how to negotiate severance or navigate employment law issues that can arise in a hostile work environment? This episode is packed with insights that will empower you to advocate for yourself and others in similar situations. 

We tackle the heavy topics of retaliation claims and the challenges of remote work, shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles faced by employees with disabilities. By analyzing the tension between individual performance and the demands of a shifting corporate environment, we aim to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed for effective job survival skills.
