Harassment-
Free Work Environment

Q. My department is very diverse. My manager refers to our group as the United Nations and has a nickname for each of us based on our national origin. Although she thinks this is cute, it makes all of us feel uncomfortable. What should we do?

A. Your manager should be made aware that her use of nicknames based on national origin is creating a negative work environment. You or your group may address this issue with her if you are comfortable doing so but you are not obligated to confront her yourself. You or your group can bring it to the attention of another manager or Human Resources. You may also contact the Integrity Action Line.
